Art rope guide getting stuck.

[Rich Rule]

That does look very neat and tidy.

 

I think you are mistaken though as that is a picture of a rope guide I made and photographed on my dining room floor.

 

Cheers.

I thought I recognised that as yours rich!!

[Rich Rule]

I am sure there is a simple explanation but could you let me know why you have posted a picture of my work?

ah, yes, this is the photo I meant to put up. I think I must have sent your one to Paul Rich, he made it up for me!. I found it got stuck on retrieval a lot until I shortened the cocoon by putting more prussic wraps in. Its perfect now.

[Rich Rule]

No worries mate. Cheers for clearing it up. I remember chattin to Paul after I had posted the pics in the splicing attempts thread. Glad it is working for you.

 

I have slightly modified my latest attempt. I took about 3 inches or bike lock. Twisted wire coated in shrink wrap. Inserted it into the eye and it holds it open all the time. Sort of a triangular shape. Retrieve everyone now pretty much without fail.

great stuff, I leave all the clever stuff to the likes of you and Paul, I just swing around on 'em mate!. Every now and then I use a prussik loop without a cambium saver of any kind, just to remind how ergonomic a climbing system lockjack/ropeguide is!

Its a bit of where you put the rope guild and a ART Double Snapper 3 is a realy good idear as you can lower is down with out smashing it on the ground and if it gets stuck you can pull it back up to free it...never put my rope guide in with out one. matt
