Pinto splice assistance please!

Hi guys,

 

If your splicing onto a pinto for a ropeguide wasn't there some discussion about the use of spacers to prevent the eyes from twisting/pulling/pushing apart?

 

How might you go about splicing a prussic loop into the one eye this would create (through one pinto eye, then the spacer, then the second pinto eye). Is this possible, is there enough room??

 

Just been on Nods workshop so suddenly a whole new world has opened up for me!!

I think you would only need to use the spacer if you are splicing onto both eyes, if you are splicing one end of the cord to one side of the Pinto and the other end of the cord to the remaining eye then the spacer would not be needed.

 

I could well be wrong though.

the spacer is only needed when a loop is past through the pinto eyes there for all the pressure would be pulling the side plates together....with the spacer in-place this will eliminate all those forces......

 

splicing the two eyes of the plates does the same thing as all the forces is pushed downward on to each side plate evenly.....

That makes sense, thanks guys!

I spliced with Sirius onto pintos without much trouble might jus be fluke:001_tt2:

Ice tail makes a good snag free end for end splice onto pinto with spacer and two none locking Brummell sufficient bury and lock stitch, nice easy very strong cord!

[MOG]

hey top climber, how you go about doing the second Locking brummel tho? i cant seemed to work it out. seen a vid on it but that without something on the splice e.g the pinto, ring etc.

 

cheers Mog

Mog, I think he said non locking brummells but it is a good question, something that splicers seem to keep to themselves.

[top-climber]

Ahh I've created some confusion here not an eye to eye but an end for end For end essentially creating an endless loop, this could be used as a tidy prussik or splice a pinto into it, this eliminates trying a locking Brummell in the second eye which is impossible I think! And leaves a dead strong termination.

 

I modified samsons instructions and before I buried I passed each end through the braid twice then buried, it jus looked stronger.

 

We then picked up a 3.25 ish tonne oak log with the telehandler without a lock stitch and it didn't budge at all so I was happy with that, I cut it condemned it and gona make another when needed!

 

Hope this may help its this easiest way I can think of attaining this answer everyone's been stressing with!
