    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    Yes exactly.. this makes things very conveluted.. they are tied very similar, where you form a couple wraps around the standing end.. & end up tucking the tail through the loop you just formed. Sometimes the only difference between two knots can be as simple as an additional loop or wrap.. yet...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Right right.. the half way point.. I'm sure you do as well, but I'm assuming you start with the picks all lined up & the point of the chevrons all rolled to what would be top dead center.. So seeing as you said your starting in the middle with the first pass & on the second you go inbetween...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    Thanks friend! I swear it's just this camera though! I just point & shoot.. very surprised at it's macro capability. Say.. anyone know whether it's easier to just do 4 passes spread apart more generously VS 3 with the last pass super tight, right next to each other?

    Best hitch cord for Sampson Vortex

    If it works what are you concerned about?? I'm kinda getting lost within what your posting because your saying you want other options because of "xyz" but then say "xyz" hasn't done this or that & it works.. but your concerned about it.. so what is the concern? I haven't worked with 10mm Epi...

    Best hitch cord for Sampson Vortex

    Well unless I'm missing something here.. the sizing is not the problem.. 10mm is the go to for 1/2". If you went to 8mm beeline you'd probably enhance the issue.. You may want to try something more slippery? Idk.. I'd say it's hitch related.. Like me, at 230lb your definatley go want to dial...

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    So... Here's goes.. 8mm Epicord end to end.. as mentioned before, one tough son of a bitch! Caught the needle threw the tip of my thumbnail trying to force it through on one of the passes.. man that would have sucked had it been any closer! I will say, i completely underestimated how difficult...

    Looking for Foot ascender on climbing spurs.

    Interesting... So why do you think they are blowing them out over at TS? Do you think they are trying to come up with something in house for the new Jetstep?

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    Yup Yup! So there goes a foot, give or take a few.. then add in cutting the tapers off as well.. could leave you with minimal gain.. Id be curious to know what is actually gained back when all said & done.

    Ever seen a lanyard adjuster like this?

    Verb Nerd! [emoji6] I still can't see how that original picture doesn't creep little by little till it's outta there.. i mean all that needs to happen is for something to come in between the bottom of that screw link & the turn in the rope & there's no clamping function anymore... a stick...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    Seeing as everyone else did the hard part explaining, I'll add some more.. If you can anchor it like this while physically trying to pull it out, it might help allot quite a bit.. The other steps are vitally important though..

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    I was talking about the one on the lanyard. "Stiff Ended e2e" we call that a sewn e2e.. everyone will know what your referencing. "Relativley muscular" Good Combo? Idk.. man.. Most of us ain't swinging that way bruv.. I don't think the ropes care either.. 220 round or lean.. they got no...

    Looking for Foot ascender on climbing spurs.

    Anyone know the difference between the one for the Kleins & the one for the Buckinghams? Is it just the bolt lengths or something simple like that but with same plate pattern? Tell me it is..lol.. I jumped up & bought the Klein just cuz it was on sale ... the buck version said unavailable.

    Knotless “Splice”

    Interesting but I don't like the edges on it... they give me cause for pause as I've broken many products bending over sharp edges etc.. as a matter of fact, i just had it happen to me earlier tonight.. Like others have said.. if the plate was wider.. id be a little more comfortable.. but even...

    Looking for Foot ascender on climbing spurs.

    Nice! Nice! I been using the QT spur adapter & have always disliked it from day one... It sticks out forward too much & is always bumping up against stuff.. Im sure it can still happen hanging out the back, but i would imagine much less often.. I'm suprised to see TS blowing them out for that...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    What kind of Cordage was that e2e anyhow? Like someone else mentioned.. those stiff legs can help "self tend" the hitch.. especially in scenarios like the minimalistic setup where you just use the biner's bar stock as your pully... the stiff legs will not collapse & will force the rest of the...

    Show off them splices

    I cannot comment on how this splice works as i have not tried it yet but here's the link to this directions, hopefully they can clarify the vague area within Marlow's. Question - so parallel core ropes.. kernmantle's.. etc. Why is it i hear that they are not spliceable one minute & then see...

    Show off them splices

    Ooooooo Arlo! That's looking kinda fancy pants!! I haven't seen or read about the construction of the Vega but.. i wonder why you have to splice it like that.. That definatley sounds like a bear.. especially if the cover is a tight construct.. I wonder if you could do a normal be DB Splice...

    Secondary tie-in for spurring: choked split-tail climbing line -OR- running bowline -OR- ??

    Yes.. i agree & can see why this is happening.. it's the first thing i thought off.. but why it won't pop back into shape is odd.. Is it possible the fibers became elongated getting pancaked in there? Or something along the lines of when your splicing a coated 12 strand, end up snagging a...
