My stopper knots are sometimes CNC sewn eyes. Not only are they great actual eyes when you climb MRS, but they make excellent stoppers for my SRS. They're also great for connecting to basal anchors and various other whatnot. You can always hand sew a stopper by forming an eye, just don't climb...

I was actually agreeing with you. I was making sort of a side argument, based on what you said about how it's great for ascending a rope with ascenders if you can match the bounce. I only tagged you in my comment because it was inspired by what you said. I was arguing that, althought there's...

I figure it's just an added bonus to have a slightly more dynamic rope. If you're tending your slack, you'll never get to use that dynamic-ness like you said. But shit can and does happen. God forbid. They say that the Drenaline is pretty bouncy and it does help with the ascenders like @Burnham...

Here's the video....

@Burnham After watching a video where a guy drop tested a weight on both the Drenaline and the Xstatic (which is super static), I will never use my Xstatic as my climb line again because of how static it is. If I were to fall, some of that stretch could be back and life saving. I don't plan on...

I love my Teufelberger Drenaline. I love my Yale Bifrost (never milked). I love my Yale Blaze (use it as a lanyard/never milked). I love my Yale Phantom (mostly use as a basal anchor/never milked). I also have this random caving rope. It' good quality but poor hand. That never milked either...

Considering so many people report that their rope organically milks, I think it's okay that I removed less than one foot of cover. It probably would have milked on its own had I let it. At least that's what I'm telling myself!

Yikes. Now I can't tell if I did a good thing or a bad thing! =-/ I guess I just won't fall haha

I believe it has to do with how the core and cover are woven/braided differently. The core is a much tighter braid and so the cover tends to lengthen at a faster rate. I personally love the Drenaline because it is much more supple than my other double braids/kernmantles. It does tend to flatten...

I ventured out into the 110 degree F heat and milked the entire length of my rope about four or five times. I'm so glad @Marc-Antoine brought up the idea of using a friction hitch instead of my gloved hands. I did try it with my hands at first, but all of my gloves have that nitrile grippy stuff...

Aaaaah, that first part makes a lot of sense and that third part is an excellent suggestion. I think I'll do this today since it's way too hot to climb.

I'll definitely consider letting it milk out. I'll see if anyone else has any input as well. I think they must have fixed that issue because my cover doesn't ever bunch up and I whip locked that sh!t as soon as I got it (stupid). You all know I love and use hitches and I haven't seen any bunching.

Short story shorter, I bought 150' of Teufelberger Drenaline half a year ago and I've been climbing on it pretty regularly. I had Wesspur install a sewn eye on one end and on the other end I hand sewed a secure whipping using waxed twine. My understanding is that Drenaline tends to milk out its...
