Kernmaster bounce

Hey guys just wanting opinions of which kernmaster colour has the least bounce or stretch.

 

Im looking at buying 70m but would prefer a visible colour so looking at orange with yellow fleck or lime with orange fleck.

 

I have climbed on the orange/yellow and seems to have quite a bit of bounce especially compared to my cougar blue.

 

Cheers

I think you will find they all have quite a bit of bounce compared to cougar blue, as the cougar is very static and the kernmaster is not..:blushing:

So Cougar Blue is coming out as the best rope chosen by SRT workers, I guess the highest climb ( in south uk ) is 140', so unless factoring for lowering from base anchor (seems extravagant), then 60m SRT is as long as you'll need? Although if base anchoring with a bigshot high anchor the longer rope seems worth paying for, perhaps a seldom used 80m one for a monster tree and 50, 60m for everday.

Of course established folk often climb with hired help present to take off the base anchor and allow it to be converted to a top anchor and save rope length that way. I guess that very high top anchor means dropping a throwline to the ground for retrieval if the tree is not coming down?
