Need Advice: Upgrading My SRT/SRS Rope

[Ethobling]

Good afternoon, folks.

I'm looking to upgrade my rope from Samson Vortex to a new rope. I originally got that rope for DDRT, but I'm now climbing SRT and feel it bounces too much on longer climbs.

My equipment:

• Rope Runner Pro
• Notch Jet Step
• Knee Ascender (forgot which brand, I think it's Camp's)

Ideally, I would like it to be above 12mm, as I want good grip with my hand. With that said, I'm quickly realizing I might have to settle for a smaller diameter rope.

Finally, I would like to order from Treestuff, since they are running a promotion.

Advice would be appreciated.
I would prefer these attributes in order of importance (bolded are most important):

• On the Treestuff website
• Static
• Minimal deformation (the Vortex gets deformed quite a bit from my RRP).
• Great MBS/WLL
• Good knotability/pliability (for the rare times I'll be doing MRS/DDRT)
• >12mm

Thanks for the advice.

Blue moon runs great for me SRT and DRT though my zigzag. Tachyon ash has been nice too.

Have you tried Drenaline?

Nope. Looks cool though!

There are many great ropes to choose from and not necessarily one "right" rope.
