Thats sounds like a plan to me cheers for the advice.

As I see it, three options to keep using your rope and cambium saver:

 

1. Use unspliced end, a buntline knot works well with a Hitch Climber, I used one for about 2 years until I finally got a rope with a splice.

 

2. Put your rope through cambium saver backwards, would mean retying your hitch up the tree. I know one chap who always keeps his CS on his rope, when not using it then it's just flopping on top of his prussik.

 

3. Use a swing cheek pulley or small mallion which you can attach midline, instead of the small ring. You could try this out with your HC and a krab to check it works, bear in mind you shouldn't really use a krab in this configuration as it's away from your reach.

 

Hope that helps!

Or get a cambium saver that the rope fits thru !!

Now that's just plain mean - encouraging someone to offload their Marlow rope onto some other unsuspecting soul!

 

 

 

In all seriousness I think folk should just stay clear of Marlow ropes until they start playing fair with their rope construction. There's a reason they're cheap to buy!

 

 

 

Just bin it or use as a tying down / light rigging / speedline / dog leash and buy something far more suitable to your climbing style.

What system are you climbing on ? That will help you chose a suitable rope. I found Yale Limelite 11.7mm to be a good all rounder.
