Less bounce: Xstatic vs Samson Ivy?

[BrianGehan]

I've been logging some hours on Xstatic recently and appreciating the minimal bounce on ascent. Looking for another similar rope for SRS to add to the arsenal. Sherrill's/Sampson's Silver/Midnight Ivy are listed as having less elongation that Xstatic. I've climbed plenty of Yale's Poison Ivy (Sherrill's previous) which definitely seems bouncier than Xstatic. I haven't climbed any of Sampson's Ivy. Has anyone recently climbed Sampson Ivy and Xstatic that could compare? Thanks

I really like the Xstatic, but with anything over 200 ft in my system it gets too bouncy for my liking (at 300Ft + it plain sucks). Never had an issue with the Ivy in the bounce department. I am a big fan of 24 strand all poly lines and would highly recommend you check out AllGear's 11.8 all poly..

Thanks for that Rico. The Xstatic I'm running is only a 150'er, and I have been curious about it having a nylon core which usually equates stretch. I have a short hank of Cherry Bomb from when it was first released 10+ years ago? It's been a great rope, but it's also been a long time since I've been on a piece long enough to really be able to feel bounciness.

Rico, how would you say AllGear's newer 11.8's compare to the Ivy's in bounce, bout the same, more/less?
