I use a Petzl webbing sling that has been shrink wrapped, works very well and costs little.

That Spiderman carving is brilliant who is the artist?

Cool Tim, what year?
-
The cover included in the final bury? Instructions just say to cut it off short, I had to bury the core in groups of three to get them in, I also used a wire fid for that part.
-
Not even Nick Araya made the Fly look pretty, onelab, I cut the first attempt off and restarted afresh, that made it easier, try it and I will try and help.
-
I think new rope would be pretty easy John, this Fly though is well used, keeping the core neat was a real problem and that i think is the trick with Fly, I'm going to re-whip it when I get some more twine. NE instructions are not that clear either.
-
My first NE Fly splice attempt, used rope so I found it quite difficult, a few tricks were needed to finish it. So ugly though, got another used Fly to splice as well.

Reid and Co! That's a blast from the past:)

Nice Reg, I have few pics from those days mores the pity.
-
I've only ever tried the Spider Jack and yes I agree rope/cord is best.
-
I read that the Petzl device operates like the smoothest functioning VT ALL of the time, but I also agree with your point SP, although different stokes for different folks.

So Gordon sent me some new sheaves, (Thanks) and Mike T tried out the device today, climbing on Tachyon which was giving some friction problems with the larger sized sheaves, Mike has been climbing SRT with the ZK1 for a long time now so was a good test pilot for the DB. Normally Mike climbs with a shorter tether than the one I use but he had no problems with the device at all reporting that it was smooth to use with a comfortable amount of friction, it's a neat tidy and clever design as you can see in the picture. Mike was my guinea pig, he survived the day so I had to pay him. I will give it a spin the next time I have something reasonable to climb.

Chortle, nice one Craig!

Funny you should say that Rich.

I knew about it but I was busy sunning myself on my luxury yacht in the Med, I only flew back this morning to get my hair cut, I'll be back to the yacht tonight as Tamara and Mercedes have organised a party.

Do you still have to own and use your own saws for Bartletts?

Nice Pete, I'm looking forward to your review as I have one on order, you must have the first one in the UK and Europe? Great design work and no need for a pesky tether. -
So, you want to know the best way of removing the inner core from a double braid rope?
