    Ultra sling vs deadeye: double the strength?

    Another splice to consider is Samson’s Tuck-Bury for class II ropes. I’ve had several tested and they broke at 98 1/2%.

    Blue 32!

    Aramids, Vectran and dyneema are being used on covers for more cut and heat resistance on smaller diameter ropes. A more recent method is an inner cover of an aramid that doesn’t get tensioned when loaded. Mammut came up with, I think, for a dynamic rope.

    Teufelberger epicord

    Noticed HRC isn’t acceptable either, might not be the low melting point, being too static is a possibility.

    Courant kanopa splice

    I might reveal the secrets behind this 16 strand splice, if offered enough money.

    Blue 32!

    Scandere has 48 strands, makes core extracting very hard.

    New RopeRunner?!?

    The above is very similar to the Synergy X, someone has done the same with the Michoacán, called the WLR, and I’ve come up with a couple variations. I call them Series hitches, hard to equalize the eye length, tying a stopper in back is the easy way to go.

    New RopeRunner?!?

    The Catalyon is a mirror image of an Arbsession Hitch, that’s been rotated 180 degrees. Tying an Arbsession and taking the eyes to the back will give the same results. Extending the Arbsession’s lower section 2 or 3 more times creates enough friction for it to be used on a fixed rope alone...

    I’ll be your assistant and tie the cameras on for you to haul up.!

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    Yes, that’s hollow braid, and it looks like the cover expands quite a bit. This is diamond braid, nylon on the left, and dyneema on the right. I spliced the one on the right, 8.1mm Slyther from Imlay Ropes using a modified tuck-bury.

    Cousin atrax splice how to

    Did you run out of slack and couldn’t close the eye up. Those splices usually can easily be pulled back out if the tapering was off. If it didn’t close up, then the cover needed to be further down before starting tapering.

    New multicender? AC SULU GO

    Attaching a chest, or neck tender to the carabiner would be simple, it brings the device up, no need to connect directly to the device.

    Don’t go with a saddlehunter saddle they are designed for sitting for extended periods, not easy to climb in. They are similar to the older arborist saddles, butt straps instead of leg loops, hip crushers.

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    A class II cover with a class I core gets a double braid splice, maybe the reverse is true? Is the core hollow braid , or diamond braid?

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    Well, after looking at pictures more, the buried cover looks to have stitching for a double braid, and one site calls it a double braid, might want to contact them.

    Different retailers, each might be making their own slings.

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    Phil, those were easier instructions than Samsons to do a covered eye for a bury only, or tuck-bury splice. I saw two methods from search, first have cover on the side, which would indicate a class 2 splice, and others are buried.

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    That Samson method is an overly complicated way of doing it. Extract core at mark 2, reinsert at 2, leaving a bight fill the eye and come out at mark 1. Measure the core bury length and mark and align with mark 1. Milk slack out of eye and make second mark on core at the cover’s mark 2...

    All Gear Pro Force splice?

    Samson’s Tuck-Bury splice retains the most strength.
