Which flip line?

[slimjimvw]

VT on micro-pulley here. One handed tending and never let me down.

 

Sorry to wander off topic slightly but do you still use a cut away ?

No. You could cut the hitch cord if there was a drama.

just got this in my stocking this morning..... you can put that on a wire flip line

nice! would quite like a positioner, think i would have to buy it out of my own money though - my boss would tell me a 5 quid prussic is fine

 

and Frosty - re: 'what would you recommend instead of a rope grab?'

if you have the money, the ART positioner as per the photo above.

or a vt/micro pulley set up (1m of friction cord, micro pulley and carabiner)

with both of these, one handed tending is possible and you can adjust under load of course...

Surely the eye of the flip line would jam in the pulley ? Have you tried it ?

Sorry SlimJim, only just seen this.

 

You are spot on! The eye wouldn't fit through the pulley.

 

Cut-away now introduced into system, potential life saver.

 

I owe you a beer bro.

No problem mate , your welcome.

 

Be worth anyone else using a flipline with VT/pulley etc set-up checking for that.

Could you use a knut hitch? Should adjust one handed and not need a pulley..
