from ive seen you will wear the ALP trainer out a lot quicker. awesome boots but designed for lightweight technical mtn walking. TreeWork will just kill them..

Yeah bro that system works. You could tie a big alpine butterfly with a crab in it above your spliced eye. Send that up so it locks in the cambium saver and then srt up on it. Once at the top, undo alpine and clip in back to drt. Is that what you mean?
Samson Icetail can be used. Do a total bury through both ends and stitch in place. When the prussic is tied, have the bury sat on the top of the prussic..
-ive never tested this but would be happy climbing on it everyday.
Yeah the sterling cut through with the silky like the other ropes did. I tried to do the same amount of force on each cut but if it appears different then oh well. The dynamic ropes cut through like butter, the Samson (?) access line took a bit more force and the tritech took a bit more still...
I've spliced it up using a class 2 db. The intermediate sheath around the core I just cut so that it was trapped by the stitching and didn't milk down the rope. It's a actually a really easy rope to splice. I did a very long bury just to be on the safe side even though the splice was primarily...
Re: Large Eye in 3/8 Beeline?
yo adam i can see absolutely no reason why not to do the big eye-you could always coat it in "rope coat" to protect it and/or cover in heat shrink. however ive no data to prove this! but id do it without batting an eyelid..
we drop tested 100kg weights from multiple heights onto a 60cm 6 month old dyneema sling and nothing lokked even close to breaking. we pulltested dyneema slings are they broke at what should of. im not saying dont check but they are super strong and i think we do worry a bit too much sometimes...
Re: Systems \"Registry\"
Hey x, how does the rope below you getting cut lead to a fall? Do you mean in basal tying? That's one of the reasons I don't basal tie... Apologies if I'm missing something bro....
