I have 3 hanks I got in the UK. Now that is a fucking rope. 0 bounce, static and smooth as silk with a hitch. Easy on hands, knots well and tough cover. Flew it today, sexy colour Black/lime green tracer. Love this rope. Boy have never like ropes with any bounce, and more than 2 colours. Dyes make ropes act weird.

I have heard this from only one other climber. He worries about dyes weakning the fibers, but you're clearly referring to some other weirdness. What do you mean?
I have owned a shit ton of rope. All the multi coloured ropes tend to degrade faster and have weaker covers. Also affects their smoothness with hitches as they age. Not a fan. Always go back to single colour rope with a simple tracer.....proven to be quality for me and my style. Not science to don't take it as gospel. Just my observations. It started with 11.7 yale poly/poly.

Milked a bit....not excessive.

I'm curious how much you typically milk off a 100', or whatever length, of rope. How much is average to you? I milked 2.5% of the cover off of Samson Vortex, but only 1.5% off of any of my Sterling WorkPro, and 1% off the Voyager- which is why I was annoyed at how baggy the Vortex turned out to be. I don't always fly my Zigzag, which seems unaffected by the bagginess of a given rope, and have now learned from you and others, the other benefits of a properly milked out rope.

@islandarb we're taking the same rope rite. I only see one color and the black with lime tracer on Wesspur's site is Samson Hyperstatic. https://www.wesspur.com/ROP1TSM_tango-statx-climbing-rope

Sorry for the redundancy @Steve Connally …… I saw Samson in the hyperlink you posted…. Either way, that tango statx made by drayer looks promising…. $1/ft ain’t bad either.
Same rope but I got my 3 hanks from Honey Brothers in UK this summer.
It is more like 11.8 great on the hands.

@islandarb its definitely a bit bouncy if youre running SRT all the time. I like the squir myself but I do a fair amount of moving rope.
@Steve Connally it might have been me. I posted about buying the Courant 16 strand line. I've been using it a bunch for removals working off a moving rope. I stand by my statement, it's not worth the price for what it is
