diy pulleysaver - rope properties

[Arctostaphylos uva-ursi]

Good stuff.

I don't quite get the logic behind having to replace the spliced rope every 6 months. I assume this is because you possibly wouldn't get a loler inspector to pass it?

I have the original art rope guide which doesn't get a lot of use anymore, due to going srt.

But when I occasionally use ddrt it does make life alot easier.

 

Anyway, best of luck with your endeavours.

It's possible to make a LOLER passable puller saver without using knots. All you'd need is a few metres of 8mm hitch cord, some whipping twine, and some heat shrink.

 

Helluva lot less bulky than that thing!

Thanks, I'd looked at that thread before but think I missed the key principles. The eye is basically formed by having the friction hitch go around both legs of the rope? That really does look clean.

I made this at the weekend for somebody.

I would use a six coil prusik for a pulleySAVER

So would I, to shorten the pulley legs but I don't use them anyway.

I didn't buy the Orange rope, pinto was £27.25 little biner was £5.07 Sirus cord was about £3.26

 

Prices may not be all that correct as I'm keeping that under my hat.

But the OP doesn't want anything with splices because he feels he would need to change it every 6 months.
