I fell...well slid- Amsteel bury was not long enough.

Now the question- where? Climbing methods, DIY, anything saddle related???

Climbing Methods.

Climbing Methods.

See you guys this is a tough one if you put this in climbing methods we use the same exact splice on our bridges for our saddles. You may use a stock climbing method where the splice don’t come up but then your splicing your own Amsteel on your bridge and then you make this mistake with the splice

I'm thinking one in climbing methods and one in saddles. Or maybe one in both that just link to the actual discussion. I think it's better to be redundant than not have it show up somewhere.

Locked brummel is a type of splice. It is self locking.

Long bury splice

https://www.animatedknots.com/long-bury-splice-knot

Lock stitch is a stitch used to lock a long bury splice For a critical breaking strength , stitching adds nothing. movement, shaking, and inquisitive fingers, may displace the tail – even pulling it completely out of the rope – wrecking the ability of the splice to withstand a maximum load. The recommended stitching is a serpentine zigzag right through the rope and buried tail. This stitching is made up in one direction followed by a similar return pattern back down with the rope rotated 90 degrees.

Bury is the end of the rope that is fed back in to the middle of the rope the length of the buried tail should be 72 times the rope’s diameter. This is about three and a half full fid lengths (a full length fid is 21 times the rope’s diameter.) The very slippery Spectra and Dyneema require this long bury.
Make sure you taper the end of the tail. A tail with no taper creates a weak point because the square end of the buried tail abruptly

Is the 72x the length of the diameter required for Amsteel? I watched G2’s video, and I believe he had an 8” bury. Looking to splice one eye to go over a versa button for Heliums.
