When taking dismantling a stem

[Stephen Blair]

thanks john lol but i want to know the percentage left for optimium grip. is that the same thing?

[bob]

just made this one this morning just over a metre i think

[John Shutler]

im not sure it matters on the sizeof the gap between the rings as long as there is a gap for the rings to be pulled into by your climbing line

 

 

nice looking friction saver there bob, splicing something other than hollow braid is something i keep planning on learning

tbh i have tried that but imo having a pulley that fits through the ring so it proper cinches up seems better

 

 

anyone that wants to can splice

but imo you have to want to

and then put the time and sore hands into making them easy to do

i was going to say splicing is easy but tbh splicing is easier now have got it sorted:thumbup:

i would think it would john, i reckon the bigger the gap the better, giving more force into the squeeze on the stem, but not too much so the rings are around the corners so to speak. i reckon a 10-2 position would be best:thumbup1:

i have a rope guide so its not an issue for me

hoping to get a course going down here with nod at some point to give me the basics to work from

what distance do you recomend to leave between the 2 rings,

 

2 to 6 inches....

2 to 6 inches....

 

 

love this set up! its ace.....i was wondering thou, (and excuse any ignorance, im new to this!) is there anything stopping you adding another prussic+ring to this set-up to put a second climbing line through? so if the s*** hits the fan your groundie can get up to you fast! (sorry if this is a bad discription!)

 

This may just be too many lines in one tree, but if i get stuck up a pole i think i'd rather too many than too fue!

I see. Though the advantage of a figure of 8 is that you could descend on it nice and smooth if you had to get to the ground at a moments notice (e.g. to rescue another climber) and as I said before the groundie could lower you. You just have to make sure that the figure 8 is locked off when working and a rescuer would have to be able to unlock it to get you down.
