I saw a picture where a climber was using a webbing daisy chain as fixed re-direct. It was static and an alpine butterfly was tied in the climbing line and it was clipped to the daisy chain.
I dont have a daisy chain lying around so I made this up. I took a piece of 8mm TVP cord from All Gear, doubled it up and put 2 locked brummels (2 sets of 2) into the cord creating the eye at the end. A series of eyes just over an inch are all separated by the same set of 4 brummels. The last eye is closed with the locked brummels and then a 6 inch bury. Its lock stitched and heatshrinked.
I am guessing that loading the brummel as opposed to the eye as you would in a traditional sense will derate the cordage more significantly. My assumption though is that this is going to be way less than some of the knots we use every day.
What do you all think?
