I use those endless slings exactly like you do Rupe, but without the rigging plate, I just have the sling chokered onto a Big Dan,( Yes I realize this affects the strength) then clipped straight onto the eye of the lowering rope.

I thought it was a Mr Whippy truck pulling in!

Apart from looking at some council work, I have three days free this week I may come up and take some pictures of your butt, ahem, I mean the tree.

Thanks Bob, when I do my update, if I ever do, I will not be using my previous training provider.
-
Yes I think so. I am not saying I am right or that Bob is wrong. Maybe fit for purpose has ambiguous meaning with no clear definition?
-
Well, on my LOLER course I failed an American, non CE marked climbing harness because the harness as I just pointed out, didn't have a CE mark, I was told that my decision was incorrect as although the harness had no CE mark it was new, or nearly new and in fact it could be marked down as fit for purpose Of course, the training provider could have been giving me the wrong information and if that's the case my old boss wasted his hard earned money sending me on a course which in it's self was not fit for purpose Just a thought.
-
Yes you can bring one back and use it without a CE mark you just cannot sell one without a CE mark:sneaky2: Funny how the elite have not responded.
-
Can you not just say that the splice is fit for purpose? Like if you purchase a non CE marked harness from the USA you can still use it because it's fit for purpose.
-
Nice, I just ordered a new ISC snap which are great and some Tachyon to make a new lanyard, of course, I will be altering a CE marked product but really, I just don't care.
-
Yes it's still there but there is a new bouldering wall in Bristol Home - The Climbing Academy which is purpose built, clean and light and without the clique staff that work in the other place.

Never wear your long hair, long in the mosh pit at that gig:sneaky2:

The bad old days, actually, I know somebody who still uses that kind of rope for lowering and his rope must be twenty years old.
-
Used to use a topping strop and nice thick poly rope like this.

I replace my wire on my grab with wire, slightly thicker,that I get from BnQ, of course, doing this is a modification of a product/device, that is CE marked so should not really be done.
-
Sweet!!
-
Yeah I know, I had one on a old mower that I rebuilt, that's why it sounded familiar.
-
Sounds like a Briggs and Stratton carb by your description.?
-
Also, if you are going to sit a splicing exam, whoever designs the testing criteria and standards must really have the correct experience and knowledge to be able to run such an exam.
-
I agree with you Jamie, some people, I believe, are trying to change things.

The Personal Protective Equipment Regulations 2002 Is it me Kev or is there nothing in that document that actually refers to spliced ropes within PPE?
-
I have used schiessling, fantastic chippers, well made robust and pretty much idiot proof but that machine you described is pretty old even with a refurb and especially if it's had a hard life, yeah I know, what chipper hasn't? The TW sounds like a good deal, yes they have their faults but they are pretty good. Sigh, if I had the money I would go for a Jenson though, even the six inch machine can crush pretty big forks with it's rollers.
-
Competence (human resources) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia So splicing a rope for PPE is not a good idea? Nobody can prove competence in splicing?, keeping records of the ropes you splice, batch number, lot numbers, the splice you perform the record of that splice, the records of splices that under go break testing, none of this proves that you are competent to splice? Three company's in this country that I know of that splice ropes for use as PPE are they competent? Interesting.

You gotta wonder sometimes.

They never stop.
