Yea, splicing's cool. My interest is more in wire rope and 3strand than the other stuff(well, tenex slings are cool too). I think I like knots for stuff like hitchcord, and I'd have trouble trusting my work when there's an invisible component. I've pretty much 'got' splicing as it pertains to my...

I'm a little jealous of Treesmith's treemaster lanyard. I think that would make a fantastic flipline in ⅝". That's what's gotten me closest to learning how to splice. 3 strand is pretty easy, but the hard lay makes it a little more difficult.

I'm not doing this a ton, so I haven't really had the need so far. I've done one white pine(winter), and was anticipating my stuff getting trashed, but I made out pretty clean. My dead spruces were pitchy as hell inside, but the outside wasn't bad. If the time comes for a pine lanyard, I have a...

It's a ClimbRight that came with my climbing set... It's fine. I don't have any complaints about operation that aren't inherent in the design, but I really like being able to easily let out some line under tension, and I like the smoothness of a pulley/prusik for drawing line in. I like 8mm...

I don't like the idea of *any* climbing gear that needs a lot of attention. There's enough stuff going on that has to be done correctly without wondering "Does my rope have my back??". I was just thinking about fliplines today, and wanting to setup a prusik on my wirecore. You guys that swap...

I haven't rewatched the video, but I remember it as being an ad for a fancy computer controlled truck that emphasized the precise automated tracking and ride. Assuming all that's the case, the only difference between splitting on the trucks, and a stable base on the ground is wind pressure...

LoL! at that measuring stick :^D

Never felt more out of my element... :^(

What are you all using? My flipline came with a mechanical adjuster, so that's what I used, but my secondary lanyard is fitted with a prusik, and I'm pretty sure I like that better. Smooth operation, and easier to adjust while under tension. Never tried the Becket, but that looks kinda unwieldy...
