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.

 

Iv done a similar thing with my pully saver, i found the eye wasnt stiff enough so used to pinch the pully when i tryed to retrieve it. So to make it stiffer i cut a peice of hose pipe to about 4 inches long and taped that over the top. A more low tech way of achieving the same thing, which is good because i cant splice :biggrin:

If you have the ropeguide in a choker situation then giving the rope a good sideways jerk (try to send quick 'ripples' up the line) can help get the cam loosened when retrieving. Once unlocked, the sling should continue to lengthen until the pulley can come though.

Holy thread revival, Batman!
