What rope are you wanting to splice?

 

The traditional braided arb ropes like Yale XTC, New England Hi-Vee, ect are 12 strand.

 

Braided lowering ropes and the thinner modern climbing lines like yale blaze, samson velocity, ect are double braids.

 

They have a totally different splice to the 12 strand ropes.

 

Some of the double braids have 24 strands in the cover, so they could be called 24 strand double braids, which makes it slightly confusing.

 

If in doubt, refer to the manufactorers instructions. If your not sure what the rope is, pull a bit of the core out, and there should be a narrow white plastic tape inside with the details of the rope printed on it.

Do yourself a favour and buy some new rope to practise with. Old rope is much more difficult to splice, it might put you off for life!

Tested my XTC splice last week, with a pulley on it, hauling large poplars out of a lake, I trust my splicing now.

 

Where do I get whipping instructions, I whipped my splice but I copied by eye one of Wills splices, also I keep looking at splices now, it's becoming an obsession and I keep noticing different whipping cord diameters on the same diameter ropes.
