I bought the Pinto 'rig' recently and am using it for a rope-guide. It's super smooth, takes a spliced eye easy and have not had any probs retrieving yet through the choked eye. It seems to 'flip' up and through the eye easy (the eye is stiffened).

 

It is quite big though and I am keen to see if the smaller version also takes a spliced eye?

Yeh have seen RG with large pinto,Which is cool.Thinking of getting the smaller one which should be the same for RG?

I use pinto for 'floating' anchor on single line and also RG sometimes and have tried it for a few different climbing setups some photo's on another thread called "pinto"

well if you've seen vid mate then not much else to show but saying that with any versatile pulley as good as that i'm sure theres hundreds of combos

heres a few bro

spliced to a prssic.

used as part of srt. when you get to the top, remove the ascenders as use it as a rope guide (ignore the tenex coming off the hand ascender).

witha revolver of the becket-i prefer using the webbing as it seems to stop the rope wrapping round each other.

adding a backup anchor by putting a ringloop(?) on.

prussic onto access line, stopper knot at tail of access line. srt line runs to the becket. again the prussic keeps the carabiners away from the rope. climbing line pre installed through pinto.

hc clipped to gear bag on the ground. your tail runs through it and tied to you.you clip onto srt line as normal ascent. clip your dbrt system to you and ascend. as you srt up you self tend the dbrt system so you can descend/switch over during the ascent.

Does that make sense? in abit of a rush........

Drew, considering what you do and the number of very helpful photos you take - that tree of yours must be one of the most famous in the world (at least on ArbTalk).
