The splicer (me) Milked the hell out of the rope before splicing the second eye (fearing a loosey-goosey cover) and it might've tightened itself up a tiny bit (a mm perhaps), causing the core to bunch up a bit.
Honestly- it's safe to climb on...but I'm going to splice you a new one and send it out. I'm leaving for a backpack trip tomorrow AM....but I'll splice it up next week for you.
I new when you told me about it exactly what had happened. I wanted to see it to be sure.
Bummer.
Did you get to use it for the redwood climb, at least?
