3metre ropeguide, got 2 big dismantles in the next 2 weeks so this will be ideal for chokeing round the stem when chogging down
-
my first 16strand splice was a nightmare, i ended up with many blisters and very sore hands. slow down, think about what your doing, what the ropes doing and what you want the rope to do. think about trying to create space within the rope, this can all be achieved by milking and masageing the rope im very much a novice when it comes to all this splicing malarky but have found that its not as hard as it seems or you would think
-
when i do set it up properly i tend to use a cinch(only because thats all i have), but then you dont have an anti panic feature like the petzl id
-
it was further away than it looks:001_tt2:
-
its quite a gear intensive set up isnt it, when funds allow il be getting a petzl id
-
ummm:blushing: i could of set something up but id probably get my self down quicker to be honest, as i was only using it to aid access not sure my access line is long enough really, think its 50m
-
yeah il bring my srt gear mate
-
had i been going up further and not working on the way up i would of tied an alpine butterfly on the access line,conected my ropeguide, climbing line etc to that and used srt'd up the tail of the access line. then cliped into my ddrt system. not sure if that makes sence, im sure some one could explain it better
