cambium saver

[Dave D]

hi eveyone, just looking for a bit of advice on cambium savers. I've had my eye on steins one but know there are a few other makes on the market and wondered if there is any real diference in them?

 

any advice appreciated

 

cheers Dave

better imo but more money the 1m one has the extra ring on it

if you go for a conventional cambium saver, id go for one with an oval mallion + big eye rather than a little eye + big eye, as stitched eyes dont fit through a little eye, but do fit through an oval mallion

the sirius looks a good concept, very nice but after a more conventional design. thanks bob.

 

i'm more just wandering if there is anything i have overlooked as when choosing climbing ropes there are alot of factors to consider but not so much to consider with a friction saver if you know what i mean.

 

would the stein be a reasonable choice?

 

Thanks

i personally think they are worth the extra although beware the 0.7m one does not have the adjustable ring and the 1m is about £18 more

 

but the normal ones inc the stien are pretty good for the money

You could get a conventional(non adjustable) to start and then add on a prussic/ring if required later.They are available seperately or can be made.Hope that is what you meant.

You can have my Stein when I've bought a ropeguide Dave. If I'd known at the time I'd have bought the ropeguide instead of the saver.

Fancy a little rec climb over the break? Perhaps we could get a few more to come along, bacon butties, bit of climbing then a couple of jars.

nice one Mick, was gonna give you a bell this weekend to see if you fancied a climb but have ended up busy with other stuff! we will definately have to arange something.

 

cheers everyone for your replies
