    Thanks for the help. 3 splices completed

    No I use srt through out. Base tie for access and working off, use a second line that swaps between srt and srt. Unless it's a dismantle then I change to a top tie with minimal rope left to tangle on the ground.

    No but I'm hoping for some replies as I'm looking at the Xstatic line myself

    OK thanks. So possible but not endorsed. I do climb SRT so rarely need one a I'm looking for a 60m line that will mostly be base tied. But occasionally it's useful, the main occasion being double roping of a tall pole. But that's rare so not a deal breaker on the rope. Just curious whilst deciding what rope

    Hi. Are older zig zag available any where does anyone know? I'd quite like one of the previous models which is significantly smaller that the current ones for a second line. Thanks

    Hi. Ia it possible to splice Xstatic rope? I cant find any instructions on Teufelbergers website, so assuming not.. Thanks

    Yes that answers my questions just right. Thank you. I was just unsure if I could adjust the eye size from what they give you and still use the remaining measurements. Thanks again

    Hi, Can anyone point me in the right direction of some splicing instructions for Sirius bull that is done in Fid lengths? I have found the instructions on teufelbergers website but it gives set measurements to go on rather than fid lengths. As I want to make a smaller eye than the one they give instructions im trying to convert them, which makes sense apart from mark 1-2 as I cant seem to find a common fid length this would relate to across the rope diameters. I have this so far: End to A: 1 FID A to B: EYE SIZE B-C: 1/3 FID 1-2: ? 2-3: 1 FID What is the missing mark 1 to 2 length in Fids? Thanks

    Nothing wrong with 2 lines. I wouldn't limit your self to only having a short or long strop etc. I have a 50m 30m 17m 10m 5m & 2.5m rope and choice which rope/combination of ropes is best for the job The ART positioner look good as a side strop attachment but if your using it on a second line you wont be able to ascend it if you climb SRT. It is rated for a single line though so good for extending your strop to get a better work position A couple of options for that would be an Akimbo as it can swap between double or single rope easy. or a VT with an easily attachable rope wrench should you want to convert to SRT mid climb. Thats all asuming you climb on single line mind
