first rope advice

[Marc]

Can't say I can tell the difference really, I'm too busy concentrating on positioning myself within the tree and finding safe anchor points, inspecting crotches as I climb.

 

A climbing rope is a climbing rope in my veiw, it's only when you take a fall will you be able to tell whether its a bit better in terms of absorbing your kinetic energy :wave:

 

I hate really bouncy rope, I want less bounce, as its never the fall i'm worried about, its the swing!

 

But rope truly is just rope, unless you have ocgd.

I had some rope, that I thought was bouncy, can't remember what it was now. But in the end I found it was more my jurky climbing action causing the bounce. A more fluid and smooth climbing action cured it. Although I found footlocking is a pain on bouncy rope (not that I'm any good at it)
