Where did I suggest it was best climbing on static rope? I'll admit to doing so in very long srt ascents, but not moving about in the tree.

A bit of stretch in a srt system can be worked to the climbers' advantage, especially on long straightforward ascents. Get the timing right, and ascend on the upward bounce in the rope; you get a little bit of boost on each bounce.

Always there are tradeoffs. Samson Blue Streak is hard to beat on many levels, but light it is not. Still probably my favorite ever.

I might descend on it a time or three before whipping the end...as much of the full length as you can arrange. Full body weight will pull on the sheath more strongly than you ever could just milking with your hands or a hitch while standing on the ground.
