art cocoon 2 and pulley saver??

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]

Im just wondering, is it legit use to swap the tape sling in an art cocoon pulley for the prussik and put it into a pulley saver scenario?

Don't see why not:001_huh: Seems like it should work fine Hama. Did a bit of exploring at Virgina Water the other day. Some crackers there:thumbup:

Spontaneous day, classically forgot the camera. Anyway I will stop derailing your thread now!

 

Ropeguide is awesome! I thought a cambium saver was good. This Pinto is insane! Not tried a cocoon but I'm sure old snake was using his cocoon with a hitch cord on his homemade ropeguides!

Here one I did. Used the Sirius loop instead.

I like the smooooooth edges on the cocoon, bet that is working a treat for you rich:thumbup1:

 

is the sirius one of the "accepted" alternatives?

pretty sure any rated hitch cord is ok tony. ive got 6mm globe on my one-its tiny.

I don't get it. The Cocoon is a friction saver yes? But can you retrieve it when on the ground in the same manner as a cambium saver?

It looks like an awfully heavy and expensive piece of kit to be free falling from a tree!

 

Maybe I'm missing the point. Sorry if I'm being thick.

throw line retrieval should always be done when removing and rope guide with pulley or cocoon, and guaranteed not to get stuck either mate.

You can use a ART double snapper or just clip a throwline to the eye or the retrieval shackle and lower it out mate. Or simply take it out before you descend.
