For Docklines and anchor ropes you will need the shockabsorbing ability from the elastic NYLON polyamide. In the video 4:30 minutes, you (and that is misguiding) recommend "Polyester for docklines and anchor ropes because of the LOW STRECH". That is not logic. In most situations you need elastic ropes for docklines and anchor rope.

@05:58 You said dynema/spectra has decent elasticity? I thought it has little to no elasticity...

Can I use this rope for climbing or is there not enough shock absorption? (I’ll be climbing trees)
