diy pulleysaver - rope properties

[High Scale]

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

 

Is he nuts?

He is, but having recently replaced my 2nd hand harness of over ten years, I thought I might give LOLER a try.

Having looked around the internet for help here's my result. The cocoon is an improvement on the pinto as far as ease of retrieval goes. I guess more importantly it allows a pre-sown friction loop to be used to attach the pulley to the rope meaning no bulky knots (as when pinto is used) and replaceable without needing a new mechanical device (Ropeguide 2010).

 

It's defo not as cheap as some other designs but I already had a fimblCLIMB and robbed a couple of bits from that. Otherwise it has a shop bought feel and the best bits of both the ropeguide 2010 and the pulley saver but being a bit cheaper than the former.

 

The loop T is disproportionately expensive given all it does is allow for retrieval but I couldn't find another cheaper but still elegant solution - over to you again internet peeps!
