Thanks. In the meantime I disassembled the sidewinder, but I fear the problem is inside the case. The spring doesnt build up tension. I think the sprig is able to rotate, or maybe it is broken. I think I am gonna look into the case as well, wish me luck...

I git mine brad new, bur after pulling the rope out for the first time it doesnt spool back at all?! Any advice how to fix that? I am little afraid to open it because I dont want to relase the spring...

The wear occurs when the Rope runs out of the device and over the side plates insteat of the pulley. Thats my expirience so far. Just watch out for that and you'll be fine...

All you Guys know that a Fig-8 is no PPE, right? Just thought I mention it...

Thnaks, I have to admitt I just read the Climbers Corner... Very hot, Mr.Bristow! Some pictures of the Sulphur-Equipment?

Where can I find it?!

Oh, sorry, after a short "googling", which I obvioisly should have done yesterday before my post...) I see it' different in english, I just translated the german names for the bowlines. For me a double bowline is this: Bowline on a bight, and "yours" is just a variation of a bowline. I love the bowline in a bight by the way, great knot, maybe thats the reason why replied so quick...

Very nice, looks like a lot of work:001_tongue: Just had a little look, I dont think Technora is good for Bridges, wasnt there something about on Treebuzz? Something to do with Technora beeing "self-abraisive"... Where are the experts? And, your Double Bowline is none, I dont know how its called in english, sorry...

Cool idea, I am gonna try this, thanks

Hallo Remy ! Pics are always very welcome I guess... How about a Prohaskas Homepage, will he ever come out with one? Would be great! Cheers, Max

Hey Drew, Beal can do stitched Terminations on Dynamic Rope, ask them ! But maybe you have to buy more then 1 rope, or it could be eeexpensive...

Doesn't Ansi requires a higher tensile strength than EN ? Or was that just on Biners... ?

Or "floating Prussic" (Hitch Climbers Guide...)

Whats the advantege of having the Pulley at the spliced end ?

Thanks Nigel, very interesting ! I know abot the yellow Line, but not about the different core construction, could you tell a little more about it, whats the difference (weave, material)? And do you or someone know about the differences of the US and EU Standards ? Doesn't require ANSI a higher Breaking Strength than CE ?? Sad to hear about Blue Moon, some Months ago Yale told me they want to CE certify it, sounds like they changed their mind. Do they fear not to sell enough in Europe, what do you think ?
