Home made pulley saver

[Starscream]

I fancy making a pulley saver out of spare bits of kit but not too sure how to go about it really. I've got bits like unused length of 14mm blue yale rigging rope, some maillons, triple attachment rapids pulleys, loads of friction cords etc.. I could probably put something together but I think I'm a bit paranoid being that it will be the one thing that stops me from dropping to the floor!! Don't really have the money to buy a new 'Gucci' pulley saver, but feel I need one to help my ascents. Could anyone help me me some guidance, reassurance and even pics of your homemade ones?

Cheers

Matt

Use a Pinto Rig Pulley in your system....perfect bend radius for your climbing line...very smooth.

Theres loads of thread about this. Just search this forum or google it. You will find loads

I did a search but couldn't really find much.. I typed in homemade pulley saver and didn't see much that was relevant to my cause.

Thanks silky, I'll look at getting a pinto rig pulley

Here's the cheap and nasty version. Try and fit a ring in between clip and pulley.

Darren's one is decent, there are plenty more here: http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=22472

 

I spent a lot of time and effort splicing mine:

 

Then I decided that for the money I'd rather have a Ropeguide. It works so much better than my homemade one, without the niggling doubt in my mind about my splicing capabilities.

Here's one I made up , its honestly the most retrievable thing I have ever used, my rope guide went missing so i threw this together after seeing a friend with the same system

Got any more photos of that, Jesse?

That'd be sweet if you could. Gonna make one for one of the lads at work. Got the main part spliced but it doesn't retrieve well like yours.
