How's the splice today?

[NHlocal]

It just doesn't hold my hitch worth a crap.

You use a tautline hitch?
I've used that and a blakes hitch when I advance my TIP and they've both worked well, good hold and release.
Of course I don't have anywhere near the amount of time climbing as you Butch.

Yes, a tautline. I could never make it work on that rope. The Fly has spoiled me!

I've got to somehow work some new rope into my budget, I hear so many good things about "other ropes" .....

Welcome, Raj! Nice looking splice.

I started out on that bwr arbormaster too. I wish someone had shown me 24 strand ropes before I bought that hank.

The BWR was my favorite climbing rope for a short while. Strong and really durable. Nowadays I like using the arbormaster lines as light rigging lines for natural crotch rigging.

Nice splice, and welcome to da House.

Nice Raj!

I havent done any 16 strand yet, but I am going to soon. I love BRW for rigging, but definitely prefer a 24 strand for climbing.

Hey Nick, you breakin' any of your own stuff? If so, how's it holdin' up? Just curious.....

 

[Bixler]

cool

 

[bonner1040]

Randy, I broke a bunch of my stuff actually, it all came out well within the desired thresholds based on material, splice, and use.

May be one day I'll get a digital pressure gauge, but for now I video record the ropes/ splices hooked up to a hydraulic cyclinder and try to make out the pressure reading on an anolog gauge when the rope breaks.

 

[bonner1040]

If you mail your stuff to me I will break it for you Raj, and get you a digital readout.

 

[Raj]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind, my day job I'm an electric motor/ pump mechanic, I have a bunch of hydraulics laying around, so I made myself a hydraulic powerpack hooked up to a cyclinder, for testing motors, compacting tanks etc, splitting wood and now breaking ropes.
