It’s also fun how when you fall you loose progress on dynamic, keeps u from getting lazy

Also a dynamic is going to apply less force to your anchor and gear (and you!)when you fall. Although falling on nearly zero slack isn't going to hurt you on a static. I normally use a static but that's mainly because I often have bomber anchors and I like to keep my dynamics in as good a condition as possible for leading or lead rope solo 😊

I think if you have to worry about that then perhaps you just shouldn't use that anchor.

I use a doubled dynamic rope (rabbit ears at the anchor) with a Taz Lov 3 and Edelrid SPOC on a long dogbone as a backup. The only issue I have is that’s a lot of hardware in front of me. The fall distance reduces the closer you get to the anchor. I got the Taz on your recommendation and love it (no pun intended).

I wonder if the extra stretch is also worse for the rope when it rubs over the rock. Or is it better because the friction works over a longer stretch?

I actually hate that my static top rope setup doesn't let me drop and reattempt stuff... But I'll be buggered if I'm trashing my dynamics with my ascender. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or something, but for the amount of TRS i do, my rope gets trashed pretty fast.

I did not find any dynamic climbing rope on Amazon. I bought several Kong Kisa, which does not look (tested) like it kicks in with under 1100 to 1500 lbf with my 10.5 mm rope, using the lower 4 hole weave. I am measuring about 650 lbf, when it starts to slide, if I use the first 3 holes. Also, bought a slyde which I have not tested.

Fall forces have a lot to do with how much slack is in the system. In any top roping situation slack should be minimal, and even falling on low stretch ropes will be totally fine for you and the anchor (1-3kn).

Yeah I cut that extra stuff out, a little more risk involved for sure. Some times I go with two devices on half a rope. But if it’s a really high cliff and a far approach. I’ll just go one device and long rope. I’m going to try a VT prussic above the taz and see if it still slides up nicely for some added safety. The chest harness makes me feel to cumbersome I’m trying to get a free feeling as close to free soloing as I can with out death involved. Also rope around my neck bothers me 😂

Have you tried to crisscross two 120 slings as a strap from both shoulders ? (One sling on left shoulder, that crosses to your right side, and the other sling the other way). That way the slings form a cross in front of you (and at the back too) and you can use this as a chest harness with a locking biner. It’s less cumbersome than a full chest harness. Sorry if I was not clear lol ask me again if you didn’t understand.

Dynamic ropes are better. Less force on you, less force on yor device, less force on your anchor. No you wont ground fall, you might touch the ground gently at worst. In climbing falling further is usually better as the force is spread out over more time.

@mBuster96

Sorry but do not recommend this to the people watching this video. It is extremely dangerous to use a static rope for rock climbing. Since the rope does not absorb the impact of falling there will be a different „weak point“ to absorb the force. This can either be your harness which might be torn apart or your body/organs which might be hurt badly.
