il be getting a new lanyard and hopefully getting my isc krab with swivel spliced on...and many other fun new things

[Steve Bullman]

i saw those krabs at capel, they look nice

[John Shutler]

yeah there really good,isc sent some stuff down to try,and that krab was on of the things.it seems to align nicely,and seems easier to clip/unclip.much better than using a conventional krab on your lanyard imo.using that with one of iscs mini krabs and the art positioner is in my opinion the best lanyard setup ive tried

well dont be surprised if they say no! no one likes splicing old ropes as far as i can tell. and from an outsiders viewpoint, i think they like to get through as many splices as possible at these events....i guess old splices would slow their progress.

If your taking old ropes to be spliced, run them through a cold wash first, even then there is still a good chance they will say no.

Dirt gets inside the rope and makes sliding the the strands over each other difficult. Arborist rope is hard enough work to splice when its clean and new!

well i think i might just buy 3'5 m of rope and get them to splice my snap hook on the end, will save any hassel!!!!
