    Zigzag......the futures bright, the futures DMM

    Oops, sorry. No, I mean the Uni is midline attachable. You just thread it up.

    Zigzag......the futures bright, the futures DMM

    Boy, that's eye catching. But a lot of hardware compared to a Uni. And it gives SRT/DRT and midline attach. I dunno.

    rigSAVER

    The video on this link is still private: U-SAVER prototype Luke is working on a refined U-SAVER right now. The video is a working draft and the hardware pictured in the video is homemade, not professional production. There's still work to be done. This video shows redundant and equalizing...

    rigSAVER

    Petzl has an aluminum oval 7mm quicklink that will jam the XRR.. Then it turns vertical and slips nicely through the Pintos. Notice there is no spacer used in the pinto. The legs are spliced individually. Luke used to carry this but I don't see it now. Maybe I missed it. OF

    rigSAVER

    Lookin good, Nick ... 1 - definitely the TVP. Stronger and abrasion resistance both. 2 - how are you doing retrieval? I'm guessing the Ptezl aluminum quicklink will pass the pinto and jam the XRR perfectly. 3 - remember to de-rate for the bite of your prusik. It's like working with a knot...

    thimble saver

    Matt, the TVP is great for the prusik. I have years of service on AG Tech Cord with no sign of wear or picking. Now with TVP, they added poly to the blend for even more internal and external abrasion resistance. I think it’s a superb choice for an adjusting prusik. For the 10mm mainline, not...

    thimble saver

    hey Matt, Last fall I did my own knockoff of a Fimble Saver as a light-weight alternative to the Mini-U (got rid of the big ring and the pulley). I use it as an accessory to a climbing lanyard ... the tail lets me set and retrieve without a throwline. See old vid here. In this...

    Me too Swing. Tell about the cordage and the big eye.

    X-rigging rings

    This is interesting. Do you think the two "circles" will play well with each other? I thinking that the XRR could jump halfway through, or something, and not get a clean basket geometry. I haven't tried it, though.

    X-rigging rings

    Yeah. That could work. No choking but double ended strength. Thanks for the tip, Nick.

    X-rigging rings

    Sorry. You saw my vid with one XRR and one arb block on a whoopie. If I had a "captive" XRR, I'd love to build that saver but with one XRR one each end. Failing that, how about two XRR on the fixed eye with some special splicing and just use the whoopie as an adjustable eye sling? Same...

    X-rigging rings

    Right. You know, I've been thinking about your splicing technique to hold two, not one, X-rings and somehow bring a whoopie adjustable into it. A whoopie seems so much better for rigging than a prusik (spreads the forces). But I can't figure it out ...

    Nick, this is very slick. But you lucked out with exactly the right tree diameter. And what happened when the pull went slack? OF

    Friction Savers....PulleySaver

    Agreed ... It's a term I hate to hear, particularly on a date.

    Friction Savers....PulleySaver

    Hi Taylor, Of course you're right. ... But nobody's got that slick little force meter you had at the workshop. How's about giving us some guidelines? What works for you? If you needed to drop something marginally big, which would you rather put the rope through: 1). The pinto sheave 2)...

    Luke screwed up

    Pigwot, that was priceless. Do we have a Hall of Fame? But just to be sure, I checked your number with the Better Business Bureau. You've got it dead right. That's one screwup in one thousand billion billion billion transactions. Not perfect, true,but pretty impressive. If they're knocking...
