Nice splice Rich. what sort of length of rope was in the eye, 8 -10 cm ?

[Mark Bolam]

Looks very tidy Rich.

 

How does it feel in the hand?

More like your Tach or my PI?

Think i did 9 cm for that one... usually about 9-10 though.

It is a hard rope. More like Tachyon or even harder. Very little stretch in the line when climbing.

 

It is supposed to be 11.7 but tbh feels thinner than tachyon.

Has anyone tried spicing an eye in Sirius bull rope, its a 32 plait. What are the taper patterns for a 32 ?

Welcome to the cougar club Rich. Lovely rope.. lovely to splice and even better to climb on.. It is bloody thin when new. Nice when it fluffs up a bit

I seem to remember cover taper is 5-4-4-5-4-4-5.

 

DB class 1.

 

But you may want to check that with the manufacturer.

Thanks high scale, I'll give it a go and report back.

I have spliced the Sirius with that cover pattern and as far as I know it's all ok.

First splice in about 8 months, used tachyon.
