    How Much Rope for SRT & Rappel?

    Just a thought...you could use a triangle quick link like @DanO carries. That would work just like an aluminum ring but give you an opening to pass the line through easily. I added them to my rappel lines & they work great. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

    What are best practices for rope replacement?

    Kong quick link triangle

    Do you still use the triangle with the scaffold knot or did you switch to just using the scaffold knot altogether?

    Kong quick link triangle

    I am considering getting a couple of quick link triangles for my rappelling ropes so I don't have to pull the tail end through the girth hitch. My question is what knot does everyone that uses these recommend for attaching to your rope or are you just adding it to your end loop? Sent from my...

    Repelling

    I tried it a couple of times from really low heights (6-7 feet up) & even with a regular belay device (non locking) the rope began to fray & melt a little from the friction. The fraying seemed to only occur on the reflective braid running through the line, but it was definitely enough for me to...

    SRT/DRT Rope

    For those interested...I found a pretty decent site for static and dynamic climbing ropes with pretty good prices on their "shorts" which are extra lengths left over from when they cut bigger rope sections. https://sterlingrope.com/store/work/ropes/static/htp/htp-prime-shorts?filter=219,137...

    What is the actual purpose of tapering the core at the end prior to hiding in the outer sheath of the amsteel? Do you have to do that, or is it just common practice? Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk
