New ISC micro pulley

I used to run my VT like that until everyone who saw it started sucking air in over their teeth and shaking their head.

 

I'm gonna buy one for sure.

its a very sudden edge to have a rope supported on. you wouldn't run your climbing line over a 'sharp' edge would you?

Nope, I wouldn't run a life line over a radius as small as that... but then that's not what's happening is it? It's designed to have a stopper knot run past it. It didn't used to concern me about tying a scaffold knot onto the petzl becket either... The line doesn't move its static.

[Steve Bullman]

its not a sharp edge and the knot is static, no problem there IMO

[Jamie]

I don't think i explained myself properly. What i'm meaning is it wouldn't want a rope tied onto something as sharp. In reference to Steves picture. if it had a circular profile i'd be happy.

 

I mean sharp as a right angle and not rounded. If you change cords often chances are it'll never be a problem but for people who don't change cords often i cna imagine it would slowly abraid the inside of teh knot.

Some inspectors will chuck it out without flinching... I gotta say I would not pick a fight on the issue myself........

huh? Expand please

[DrewB]

can also tie the stopper knot from the hitch cord betwen the legs of the pulley to make it neater on the carabiner.

I assume from your comment that you are not one of them., I know you inspect, it is at your discretion.
