A toggle rope was part of the standard equipment of British Commandos and the Paras during WW2.

It was 6 feet (1.8 m) long, and had a toggle at one end in a tightly fitting eye splice, with a larger eye at the other end. This enabled them to be fastened together to create a rope ladder or use to create a rope bridge among other uses.
