Pinto as main anchor point

[Rock Monkey]

So I'm thinking of trying out a pinto as my main anchor point. At the moment I climb on a zigzag using a cambium saver. I'm not to fussed about retrieval from the ground for the moment so I'm not considering a pulley saver for the time being. With that in mind I was thinking of using a length of 10mm rope, tied as you would a prussic loop with the pulley (+ spacer) threaded on and then just crows footing this round my chosen point. Can anyone see any problems with this? Or any better options? Trying to keep costs at a min for now until I know I like using the pulley.

Maillon your pinto onto small eye of cambium saver then you can retrieve from ground, little bit more friction but not that much. Other than that not much wrong with your original idea, used to do similar, until made own pulley saver

Not sure its ok to crash little alloy pulleys to the ground ?

Darrin, Thanks for that.

Born2trot, If over hard surface I lower down with throwline

Could you splice the eye instead of stitching ?

Wasn't having a go at you mate , just realised this

I don't know how to retrieve them with a throw line
