New Job, so the girlfriend treated me to...

Rope is passing round the becket...micro pulley would be better for this application...keep the pinto for a pulley saver

 

I have to disagree silky at least with the pinto he can use it as a secondary line attaching the krab to the becket, you can't do this on a standard pulley.

All that said, full marks to your girlfriend! Bit of fiddling and that will make a nice set up.

As Silky says though, I'd have that pinto out and use a micro pulley instead.

I have Boa in a vt on my strops, it's nice cord.

I doubt it's going to be long enough to be useful as a second line, longest Marlow split tail is 5m I think? I have a 12m strop I use as a second line...

5m is enough to use as a secondary to give you better body positioning,I failed to noticed it was a split tail but despite that I'd still stick with the pinto.

A prusik & thimble would be a nice addition then to get a bit more length out of it :thumbup1:

5m is plenty as a secondary anchor. Pinto is a nice set up for a lanyard as it gives you more options like a HC pulley.
