Small pinto pulley

[Joe Newton]

Hello all,

im considering a pinto, a stein skywalker and a simple pulley (moving cheeks) for the lanyard/work position/second climb line sometimes cliped to the hitch climber. I use hitch cord with fishermans knot so I'm afraid the eyes will not fit inside the pinto that's correct? And if I use the fishermans eyes on the side of a pinto it probably will take a lot of space in the carabiner and press the pinto sideways were I should use the pinto spacer (more gear, more € and more bulky setup). Anyone had this problem? A fixed cheeks pulley will have the same problem?

 

Ty in advance

 

 

A simple mini swing check is fine for slack tending on a lanyard. Cheap too.

I use a pinto with hitch cord tied in fishermans outside the pinto. works fine for me in terms of space on the crab. No need for spacer.

 

I like using a pinto here because you can clip the working end of your lanyard back onto the becket of the pinto which makes for a smooth in line working position system when you are using it either onto the hitch climber or onto the ring on your bridge, as you only have one crab on the bridge ring and feels less cluttered.

 

At other times the pinto is no different to any other pulley. So it is just personal preference and how much money you have to spend...

Can I ask what diameter cord and crab you using?

I use 12,5mm safty blue with 9mm or 10mm cord, I saw somewhere using one eye/fisherman between the pulley and other outside but I'm afraid the rope can rub on the fisherman knot.

 

That's exactly why I am considering a skywalker or a pinto, to use like a second line "reduced" to a single crab/atachpoint.

I'm using 11.7mm line with 8mm ocean polyester cord tied in a Knut

 

Haven't used or even seen the sky walker pulley so can't comment on it but the pinto is one solid little pulley.
