Using "dynamic" rope as a safety line

[benz]

Hi Allen,

I second Brion on not using stretchy line. When climbers "fix" lines on a cliff, they always prefer static lines, the reason being that when you "Jug" a dymamic line, there's a lot of bounce. Sometimes if you're starting at the end of a 200-foot rope, or worse, two 200-footers tied together, you have to jug for fifteen minutes before getting both feet off the ground, because they stretch so much. That little Petzl Tibloc in the picture will work best with a nice piece of 3/8" or 7/16" double braid.
Best,
Ben
