Have I just thought of a great idea?

[Lm20]

Right I don't know if this has been said or tried? But I was thinking of a large wood round bead above the friction hitch or maybe zigzag or this would be loose say 13mm hole for 11mm rope?

Why?:what:

[Lm20]

Why? Just to prevent rope burn you sometime get with big swings an decents also thought it would burn you gloves out slower

Burning never hurt no one!

Sounds like we're getting a positive response:biggrin:

Yeah I did that for a while when I had a knot, it worked a treat. Go for it.

Cool so did it speed up the climbing? As sometimes you have to dress the knot? Did you have to dress it? Are you not using it anymore? What size bead etc?

Saw a bloke use this set up in a comp In NZ looked good to me if your bombing about. Not my cup of tea though.

[Joe Newton]

Why complicate it? If you use your hitch correctly you shouldn't be getting rope burn.

 

Sounds like a lot of gaff for little gain IMO.
