    Cousin atrax splice how to

    Much appreciated, i dont use the nick method, i have a method for tapering i use somewhat universally which I'm used to and gives consistent predictable results, kinda just stick to it because i know it so well

    I dont yet. I mainly do it for my own equipment, co workers equipment and sometimes just because i enjoy it. I may speak to a local shop to see if they need a splicer though. Heres a quick rope guide i made for a co worker. He chose the cordage....which he is no longer allowed to do, was a...

    RE Akimbo setting and rope

    It is a bit bouncy in bigger trees. Noticeable bounce when ascending up some 35m elms the other week but not noticeable when working off the line. The bounce isn't particularly detrimental to an ascent and a friend who went up on my line said they really liked the bounce as they timed they're...

    I've done a few tachyon splices and i prefer to leave the extra core strands in the splice fully, tapering them along with the core. I leave them in as having strands somewhat floating in the rope just doesn't sit right with me and I'd prefer to have all cordage "locked" at the zero point being...

    RE Akimbo setting and rope

    This. Also extends the life of mechanicals, keeps the abrasive dust and dirt to a minimum.

    RE Akimbo setting and rope

    I like it allot. Didnt think i would, hard rope, not very soft, stiffens up allot under loading but, surprisingly really really nice to handle. I'd buy it again over a softer rope.

    Twin line out of a positioner.

    Had a bunch of spare parts and bits and bops. Made this. Not sure if its ever been cobbled together before, so, yeh. Still want to grab a couple more bits to make it a bit more presentable, long webbing sling for the retrieval shackle and a petzl stem to tidy up the sling on the ring. The ring...

    Adjustable Rope Bridge

    Not a massive fan of toothed camed devices on bridges, it'd be an extreme curcumstance but just the idea of it biting the rope on shock load. I have heard of a story of someone using a kong duck in the same fashon and it biting into and cutting the jacket of the bridge rope on shock load from a...
