Hey ya'll,
geez i was looking for some guidance and boy did i get some! thank you all so much for you thoughts, sorry i been a little busy lately...
im gonna have pics up very soon just so everyone is on the same page. i think the rope is still in excellent condition so hopefully spliceable, i will let you be the judge.
i'm confident in tying the double-fisherman's however, as blinky pointed out i do use a hitch climber, and i certainly do like to keep my XT as clear as possible. also, I have climbed in a double-lanyard style so i do occasionally throw my climbing line in a crotch and appreciate it being more easily retrievable. so i really would like to get a splice...
treestyler, i wish i could just rotate it into a rigging rope! but it's in way too good shape, plus it's my first rope so now it's got sentimental value!
but, what is a pullingline or speedline? do you mean like a zipline? (which we have occasionally used) just curious...
blinky, thanks for your handsaw tips. i do use a sugoi and when i started, heck even now, i'm amazed at the action of it. I had plenty of guidance and warnings but it still surprised me sometimes. by the time i nicked the rope i really should have known better (and it Was on a cut's follow through, i really thought i could pull it back quick enough, i was wrong)...
goodaking... rock n' roll, thanks for all your help...
p.s. i'm outta CT and i'm going to get my rope and take the pics right now...back in a flash...
