I would like to thank Nick for answering the questions I had about Rope and Splicing. Just because a splice was done in-house at a rope manufacturing place doesn't always mean it was done correctly. Perhaps the quality control people were having an off day!
I have seen a whoopie sling sold that wasn't properly finished. I would urge people, who may NOT be interested in splicing, to become familiar with what a proper splice looks like. Like knot tying we all should T/D/S our knots, shouldn't we pay the same attention to the splices we trust our lives to?
I don't think I would climb on one of my very first splices, I might use them in a rigging application, with a big dose of consideration for safety. Like rigging a limb that couldn't whack anything important. If all worked out well, then I might consider splicing something for personal use (climbing line). OR I could buy my spliced ropes from a reputable guy like NICK!
Thanks again Nick.
