I get the feeling that arbortists tend to not like stretchy kernmantle rope for climbing.
Is that correct, and if yes, why?
I mean, I understand the concept that "unlike rock climbers we plan NOT to fall," but if there's ANY chance of falling, why would you not prefer a rope with a little stretch to it?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but thanks for any answers.
