Kernmaster bounce

[MORTY]

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..

I have not used Kernmaster and recently got a 60m Cougar Blue.

 

I was pretty surprised how static it feels but I'm really glad I chose it.

Bought it from Treeworker.

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?

or just tie another rope to the climb line and then your away to finish the job and retrieve as per usual.

To pull down a retrievable top anchor?

thanks, makes sense, rather than having an extra long rope just for rare occaisions

Yes or a basal tie. The choice is yours. You might need to be a bit more careful to ensure the connection knots do not have to go through a tight fork. It has always worked when I have tried it.
