Rope grabs

[madbopper]

I've just got a new wire core flip line and found the outer rope covering very shiny, I normally use one with a short friction hitch but I'm thinking of changing to a rope grab can you recommend one or one to avoid and how are you connecting to your harness ? Just a crab or crab and short webbing loop. Cheers Russ.

ART were do groundbreaking when they brought these out S.J's Cocoons etc..great engineering. Besutiful to look at too...Swivels add to the luxury but a webbing link is peace of mind if you need to cut yourself free of course.nice picture Morten.

Cheers lads.

Silky can you explain what you mean you are doing with the webbing.

I was going to use one of the Isc micro grabs, but didn't know weather to fix it direct to my harness or use a small webbing strap has anyone got some pics of theirs. Cheers Russ.

If something goes pesr shaped up in the tree and you are locked by your wire strop a soft link is easy to cut thus freeing you quickly. Or in an ariel rescue.

Agreed.

Well ill be buggered just learnt something new, I thought the short webbing link was to position the grab further away from the body so you could get your hand to it easier.
