Yes but I don.t know if it will take a splice and retrieval ball.

Do you think the DMM and Ropeguide pullys would take an XTC factory spliced eye?

[DrewB]

what about a small maillon witha petzl emergency pulley wheel?

right here is an idea that i have tried out for one of my ropes that does not have a spliced eve but needs to be retrived from my ART friction saver or my normall cambium saver -

 

Get a 6 inch nail and heat it up untill it is glowing red hot , then place the verry end of your rope on a piece of wood and approximatley 1 inch from the end or your rope use the nail to burn a hole strait through the rope . this leaves a clean sealed hole through your rope so that you can either fit a small loop of rope made from starther chord to attatch yoiur retriever to or in fact if you have a spare retriever then you can tie that strait into the hole . any way hope this helps .

Failimng that do what i did and send your rope off to honney brothers and they will Re-splice your rope with a smaller eye that does fit through your ART friction save and most other cambium savers , i had one of my marlow ropes done and was impressed that it came back propperly spliced as opposed to the chunky sewn eye that it orrigionally came with

Won't that give problems at your next LOLER inspection?

it shouldnt do if its within the last inch of your rope because both your bowlin and stopper knot should not be using the last inch of your rope .

You lost me, I thought you were splicing the end of the rope?

 

If the problem is attaching a (retrieval) loop to the end of the rope, can’t it simply be “whipped” on?

great idea i had not considdered whipping a retriever on , my problem would be that i use both my ART friction saver and a Cambium saver depending on what im doing and both require difrent size retrievers

i have done similar but find a old file pointy end and just hot enough to melt but not too hot go halfway then turn over and do opposite and use some throwline

nice tight compact hole:001_tt2:cant beat it:thumbup:
