That makes sense. Yale Bandit has some stretch and the GriGri bounces a little. For my massive 20' rappels I don;'t know if I care THAT much. I already own a 32' tether. It is great with a Ropeman and ATC
My Bluewater Assault 11mm Static doesn't knot well. You have to use it a good bit to get the knots to settle and the end stopper knots always need a checkup. I am currently using it for my extra Aider tether etc. When it was NEW, my tether would just slide down the tree if I unloaded it and it was't double wrapped or being held with a hook or with a constrictor band. I hated that.
My Bluewater 9mm accessory cord (not as strong as HTP) feels stiff hanging off the tree. When I am advancing the tether to climb up a tree (Seat Climber, Aider etc) it tends to stick a little. At least it doesn't bust loose and slide down the tree.
