I'm fairly certain I would puss out before I hit 5k. A DWT would get it back down to my SWL and make the whole process alot mo saferer.
Lets see, 46(MA)/5klbs=108lbs of force on the crank. I could manage that solo, but I'd be skeeered!
What happened to the advised 10x safety factor?
I went with the line because it's super static, was cheap, well suited for the winch, and gives me a wide safety margin for more cycles to failure.
You won't believe what a high mod rope will do in comparison. You take out the slack/belly, the next turn you make goes straight to lifting/flexing your rigging points instead of stretching the rope.
Hmm, mine is a double braid, outside is poly, inner is the strong, weight carrying stuff.
Fairly certain it's a 12 strand, hollow braid construction. Splice was a locking brummel with a snazzy eye cover'er.
