Don't see why not
 Seems like it should work fine Hama. Did a bit of exploring at Virgina Water the other day. Some crackers there

Ropeguide is awesome! I thought a cambium saver was good. This Pinto is insane! Not tried a cocoon but I'm sure old snake was using his cocoon with a hitch cord on his homemade ropeguides!

Re: art cocoon 2 and pulley saver??
I don't get it. The Cocoon is a friction saver yes? But can you retrieve it when on the ground in the same manner as a cambium saver?
It looks like an awfully heavy and expensive piece of kit to be free falling from a tree! Maybe I'm missing the point. Sorry if I'm being thick. |

Re: art cocoon 2 and pulley saver??
throw line retrieval should always be done when removing and rope guide with pulley or cocoon, and guaranteed not to get stuck either mate.

Re: art cocoon 2 and pulley saver??
You can use a ART double snapper or just clip a throwline to the eye or the retrieval shackle and lower it out mate. Or simply take it out before you descend.
