Yale imori...lots of stretch :(

[Coletti]

Hey guys

 

I'm currently climbing on Yale imori and find it incredible difficult on a long haul back up the tree due to what I would class as a lot of stretch. The only other rope I have ever use was xtc on a rec climb where the anchor was roughly the same hight as mine and there was a lot less stretch. Does anyone else that climbs on imore think there's a lot of stretch? It's got to the point where I'm thinking of changing rope because of it

Not used imori, however a pantin might help with long hauls. Cheaper alternative to a new rope.

No problem with imori. On my second rope now. As has been said - pantin?

Pantin and try and try to climb less jerkily.. The bounce comes from you. Saying that though, it is stretchy rope. I notice stretch more SRT than DdRT for some reason. It may feel bouncier because xtc is stronger, therefore your weight is a greater proportion of the working load limit on a weaker thinner rope than a fat old xtc. If you check out the dynamic elongation curves of each rope you will see what I mean.

Get a Pantin.

 

Then consider an SRWP system.

Yes Imori has a lot of stretch in my opinion. I don't notice it too much when climbing ddrt but certainly if climbing srt for access it is way to stretchy for my liking.
