Is hrc spliceable

[Hosocat]

Sorry if this has been discussed. Cant find anything about it with search engine. Is 8mm hrc spliceable to be used to make an eye to eye for use on srt with hitch climber and rope wrench?

Naked eye splices I think. Maybe something can be done with the jacket but it’s probably complicated.

I got a sewn eye one that I really like.

 

[Hosocat]

Is that sewn? Is all the strength of hrc in the core? I havent used hrc before, but got a 20 foot length and want to experiment.

The pic is the naked eye splice. The sewn eyes are easy to find for sale I think.
Do you have a HitchHiker? I like HRC with the HH, it’s nice stuff, and plays well with many ropes.

Splicing HRC cord

Anyone know where to find info on splicing HRC cord??? ...Or where to buy spliced HRC cord. If Tobe is out there... tell him he needs to start selling HRC cause it's definitely the best I've found.

No hitch hiker. I think id like to try it, but they stopped making them for a while, i think.

Hitch Hikers are still in production, and are easy to find. A wonderful tool, by the way

Would it be spliced the same as bee line? I just watched a great video on youtube by eric forsman showing how to splice bee line. Looks easy.

Thanks for the hh link.

Yes, Eric’s video is the splice for naked eyes, they can also be covered eyes, with a little more work, as mentioned. The second locked brummel requires unbraiding the tail and then rebraid it.

Is the HH2 STILL being made? I've not been able to locate one.

 

[Hosocat]

Wesspur is selling them for $240. Includes hh, biner, and rit cord.

I saw that. Says they're out of stock. Didn't they know if that meant for a few days or one of those out of stocks that never goes away.

As to the hitch hiker, You could also check directly with the manufacturer. I bought one directly from them last year. http://rope-tek.com/hitch-hiker/

 

[Hosocat]

I didnt notice they were out of stock. Rats, ive been thinking about getting one.

A few months ago Paul said production stopped cause his machinist was battling cancer. Idk if that's still the case or if they're just out of stock temporarily.
I'd considered selling my other spare but knowing there hard to get now days I'm just gonna hold onto it.

I would recommend contacting the company directly even if they say they are out. It will put you at the top of the list. Direct purchase is more profitable for them than supplying resellers.
