Very nice work fellow Frederictonian

So today (it actually started last night) I met my match. I'm not the most proficient splicer going, but I like to think I'm somewhat competent and I've done tough splices before. However, this son of a bitch right here almost got the better of me. The body count: 4 hours, 3 blisters, 2 come-a-longs, 1 broken carabiner, and much patience....plus a disturbing amount of lube.

Edelrid Direction Up. I challenge others to try it; there's a reason TreeStuff charges a premium for hand-spliced eyes on this rope compared to every other one they sell.

That doesn't even look remotely fun. Nice job, great looking splice.

Class 1 double braid? I'm up for it!

That is a perfect looking tight eye splice, & you're absolutely right ML, it doesn't look user friendly! But it sure turned out nice! How did you break a carabiner though? Was it a wire gate?

That was my mentality. Nick (Bonner) confirmed it is a class 1 dbl braid, but warned me the finish is hard. He wasn't shittin'. Good luck man.

It was an el cheapo Black Diamond non-locker from the local rock climbing store. It all happened so fast, but my guess is it got side loaded against the steel biner I was using to hold the eye tight.

The other half of it is somewhere in the backyard....or the neighbour's....or maybe across the street.

Have you spliced kernmaster? If so, how does it compare?

I have not, but if it's anything similar to this I'm never trying.

NE Tree · Mar 12, 2016

Kernmaster's a pain in the ass for sure. I'll have to try the edelrid once. ...or twice.
Maybe next winter

KYAPLE · Mar 12, 2016

You made it look great from here!!

From what I've seen Edelrid's 16 strand isn't a walk in the park either....

macswan · Mar 12, 2016

Damn, nice splice

I just played around with Ideas and just figured it out. The boom sling instructions did open up my eyes.

FMecky · Mar 14, 2016

Im going to break this one with use lol. I know it will work it just looks a lil sloppy by the two locking brummels because i didnt do it through the flat part and it got all twisted. I work with the X man so I have tons of rings and rope to splice to get it perfect.
