Although who knows how strong that cord will be under tyrolean-like tension. But at least I'd have my rungs and could swap it out with 8mm rope if it broke.
I have always really enjoyed crossing monkey bars using both my hands and feet like I'm climbing under an overhang, but the experience is always too short. Now I have the opportunity to have a nice long rope ladder across the entire width of my backyard. I figure an out-and-back every morning will be a fun quick workout. I've also thought it would be awesome to rig one over a river, and you could just keep crossing it until you got tired then drop into the water.
