Balancing Rigging Strop

[onelab]

we need some pictures onelab if thats cool, sounds really interesting

 

 

Here you go mate. Just ran out in the garden & quickly set this up.

 

Hope this makes it a bit clearer

Nice set up.

 

I would have a biner both ends though, as the minute that top biner is unclipped I can see the ring disappearing into the brash, and reappearing in the chipper!

thats a cool setup! nice and simple!

Nice idea but I would not use the krab on the lowering line as it could cross load. Does the ring slip at all?

[Paul Smith]

You would be better of using a sling on the termination end of the rigging line.

Yea you're right mate. My groundies have been good with this so far. Big trouble if they weren't lol

Its never slipped so far. This isn't the actual ring I rig with. I use a small cambium saver ring and a big biner to increase the bend radius and friction. Your right about the biner mate. I just did these pics in the back garden a min ago, in bare feet shorts & it was drizzling .

But I have pushed my luck with them in the past before & really shouldn't

Cool! Sounds like you know, be safe.

Was working on the STEIN rigging demos at the AA trade fair and we were demonstrating using the new 14 mm Yale Multi-slings (available from 13mm - 26 mm!)
