    Show off them splices

    While trying to figure out how a Lankhorst A3 splice is done, the splicing is all done in the eye, I came up with another way to make eyes in the twisted parallel cored ropes. Xstatic’s break strength is 7192 lbs, the left one broke at 6031, and the other, which had a foot and a half feet piece...

    Kalimba Courant splicing

    If your splice above was thinner than the rope, that means the cover is less than 50% of the rope, maybe leaving some of the twisted strands inside the cover tail would correct it.

    Southeastern New England, sewn splicing?

    Try Arbsession!

    Kalimba Courant splicing

    Did you want to taper less on the cover because the core is reduced, the eye looks very thin? Not sure what you mean when you couldn’t manage the crossover, too big to milk the cover back over? Did the final bury milk too easily making you think it is too thin? Sorry for the questions, I’ve...

    Sticht Hitch

    I think it does, it lifts the twist off the rope, preventing the wedging. Same with the short pieces of tubing that were shown.

    Sticht Hitch

    Just rotating the small eye up causes the rope to auto bloc itself, down releases it. Clip into the large eye.

    Why no hitch for SRT?

    The double crossing, or twist in back, does the majority of the work to keep any slack in the wraps from “migrating” to the lower section

    Sigh

    Looks like they are lowering him on two ropes to keep him upright, possibly he has a saddle hunters harness.

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle discussion in light of the newest saddle releases

    It’s plastic, but not life support, and a DIY project. There is almost zero drag when it travels up the rope, midline attachable, even on loaded rope.

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle discussion in light of the newest saddle releases

    It’s a clam, or v groove clamp, weighting it forces the rope into the groove, and slanted ridges pull it in more, totally passive.

    New Tribe Onyx Saddle discussion in light of the newest saddle releases

    I’ve used it for a hand ascender for a foot loop, mostly hangs on the wall. I use something very similar for a knee ascender with a retracting reel.

    Why no hitch for SRT?

    The slack that usually goes towards the eyes, causing it to bind up, gets pushed back into the wraps with short, stiff legs. Only pushing up on the hitch, instead of pulling up on the rope to tend, also reduces the amount of binding. The Distel, Cornell, and VT are simply wraps around the rope...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    I tried it a few years ago, works okay, does tend the hitch. It takes long hitch legs and has to be set each time, takes a lot of arm movement to hand tend, and it would need a short, strong connector to the carabiner. A truncated Wrench gives an idea of the concept.

    Documenting my hand-sewn eye process

    The hitches would hold for a while, but usually will start slipping before breaking. It would only be as strong as the cord holding the two rope ends, if it didn’t slip.

    Sticht Hitch

    It works if they go straight down, crossed seems to keep the top wrap from uncoiling, maybe just personal preference.
