Favourite rope for SRS?

[Old Mill Tree Care]

Currently what is your favourite rope for SRS work climbing?

I use a RRP or a BDB.

TIA.

I am using Courant Squire. 
 

Nice in the hand, tie knots well and is or was under a 100quid for 60 metres.

 

Low stretch as well.

That's what I've been using for the last few years and I do like it but it has to be replaced it cos my girlfriend rubbed her Silky over it🫣!

 

I think I heard that Globe 3000 is better due to less stretch but can't get confirmation.

I’ve never heard it called that before, but congratulations on finding a girl who is into ropes and knots….

It was not a euphemism, it is exactly what happened therefore I'm interested only in feedback on which ropes climbers are using for SRS work.

Marlow used to be great, but its on par cost wise with yale cordage rope,  both have limited stretch,  good for knots etc, 

Also I have an old decommisioned rope and its rather strong to put it mildly.

Only problem fault with marlow can snag on leylanndii gads/ sharp stubs

Hello, is that piece of rope still available?

I have never looked passed xstatic the last few years going through 3 of them , before that I liked the non ce cougar blue but was a bit heavy and briefly I think sterling scion which felt like cheese wire.. yeah x static seems to offer what I want out of a rope for srs with minimum stretch whilst still feeling good in hand whilst probably not the lightest I’m not a fan of ultra thin ropes and it’s cheap.

Have you tried Kalimba, Matty? I've got a couple of lengths of it and so far it's my favourite.

 

Only very slightly more stretch than Squir (which I also have) but available with a splice and a lot nicer in the hand.

 

With either of these ropes is recommended to soak them overnight and allow to fully dry before first use to get the best out of them.

Like I said I’ve not looked past x static last 5 years Joe , it’s good to have some new recommendations though so thanks, I miss that about the forum !
