Anthony, I don't think you are correct with your figures on rope stretch. A dynamic rope will usually stretch about 9-10% under a static load (the maximum in the standard is 10% from memory). But under a dynamic load the rope will stretch between 30 and 40% (40% is the maximum under the standard). I don't think that a top roping fall would be completely static (please correct me if I am wrong), but it would not be as much as a dynamic load (they get this figure from the first factor 2 fall test they do). So I imagine the amount of stretch would be somewhere in between. Tris
