pinto configurations- wicked!

[WeeDee]

craig-d had one similar but that was only looped then gurth hitched. the one i have done is slightly different.

 

You're right - I stand corrected.

Your's has an extra roll before the 'bridge' binds the two legs together.

When I saw CraigD's, your's is what I (incorrectly) remembered it as.

sorry for being long winded.

 

I have the pinto on a rope guide but don't like the idea of splicing eyes into the pinto its self, so then i can use it else where, so the next thought would be the spacer, but don't have one so then i used 2 double fishermans onto each eye of the pinto but found the knots real bulky and found retrieval hard. so then jelte prussic but found this to bulky on the rope guide, so now it kept me awake all night last night thinking and i came up with this.

 

sorry if its already been done, or thought of or even has a name, but hope this helps everyone whos had the same problem.

 

To all of the above

well done majestic

i've been trying to work it out too, tried the sliding double fishermans that scott posted on treetools bit like a chinese puzzle couldn't work out how you could get the not to sit above the eyes so you can use it as a prussic, itms

i gave up in the end,

 

Just one Q. how have you tied off you prussic, cant tell from the pic?

in the picture i've just tied a single fishermans but doubled it now, i'll get a few more pictures up later of the whole thing from scratch.

sorry about the picture quality but heres for those who's had the same sleepless nights as me.

[ben-jammin]

Very Cool!

 

Does this have a name?

[CraigD]

nice work there mate:thumbup1:

[Adam Bourne]

thanks for the comments i'll keep you all posted on how its works both positive and negative, as for the name i'm not sure, its half jelte prussic half gurth hitch all with a twist, i'll have a think on that one.

[Adam Bourne]

Had a good climb on it yesterday, everything is working well the bridge stays in place, the side plates on the Pinto are not stressed in any direction they shouldn't be, the cord its self seems to be ok on the twists but will monitor that constantly, as it may be putting a little stress on the cord but, seems fine, as for retrieval it works better than my art rope guide so happy days. i've decided to call it a twisted false splice. would like some input on that so fire away.

 

Thanks
