    dynamic rope...does it matter

    For much of what we do...does dynamic rope really matter? one sticking..you have 3 or 4 feet beetween you and the the girth hitch.. Will there be any benefit to the stretch property of the rope at all? Im trying to think.. If we fall any distance, we are going splat. Right? Any fall we have...

    The videos greatest attribute is the rope setting and retrieval method. I LOVE these guys and their videos. but. I sm perfecting my SRT and I'm stll all about the gri gri/hand ascender method. f4 has a danger factor that the gri gri plus nullifies
