How's the splice today?

How did you get the bury on fly to look so nice Carl?

I took my time on it Pete as it's rare that I splice Fly.

This turned up early last Sunday morning in a worn IKEA bag, the black tape marks the damaged parts of the rope, the undamaged section is on the rug.


So less than half left undamaged.

Fruit tree pruning rope!

Nice

A man can do a lot worse than have a short climbing rope on hand for the appropriate application . Nice splicing, btw.

So what happened to the rope? Looks like a lot of damage.

I don't know yet as the guy hasn't shown up to pick it up, it had some heat damage as well as cuts, it looked like it had gone through something.

I was thinking a dog at first.

short version of my post in another thread, has anyone had luck splicing 9mm single braid cord? I've been failing the last couple nights in my attempts my first splice... it's a hank of a rope that's been climbed with several times..

 

[savan]

just for posterity I called sterling and was told that you can't get their 9mm cord w/ a buried eye splice and don't recommend it. You *can* get it w/ a sewn eye but dont recommend you do it yourself.

hth

Good report. Thx for follow-up

Since I couldn't splice the cordage I took the leap and gave it a run at a120' hank of safety blue I just got. It went great! First was a 15' lanyard where I learned the woes of the final bury. That looked ok so I put one on the climb line,. The 2nd took about half an hour and now they're both locked and whipped. Woohoo!

This was a coat hanger & picture frame wire fid job. Seemed to work ok for me.

I've been thinking for a while that this might be possible. Today I decided to give it a go. It was as tough as I thought it'd be, but I really like how it turned out...
