I've spliced up an aluminum ring and ring friction saver on some 1/2 inch 16 strand arbormastor rope, I've had only one climb, using a clean and fairly new 1/2 inch Allgear neolight 16 strand rope, DdRT, may be went up 15 ft, out 6 ft on a limb and then down, and left these marks on the aluminum rings, they are noticeable by touch. Having never used aluminum before (always steel) is this normal??
Thanks, Peter.
