Not sure if this is common knowledge or not but came across how to splice eye loops onto saddle bridge without lock stitch method and thought I would share.
That is of course if it is a fixed length bridge. However if you make it adjustable like a whoopie sling you can essentially lose 2 carabineers.I'll add a caveat that of course you can still do it you just need a biner still on one side and the loop can be made if you already have the first brummel on your linemans loop of your saddle.
That's awesomeView attachment 13749I just built this today, actually turned a dyneema dog bone into an adjustable bridge onto my lineman loops. Lost 2 carabiners.
Thank you man. New to this, but a DIY guy.That's awesome

Search for Samson Ropes Splicing Guide and look for Whoopie sling. There's a good "how to" included it the guide.So you just send the loop end back up thru the center of the rope? How is it secured beyond that? Does it lock down on itself? Or are you just expecting the brummel on the tag loop to stop the rope from coming back thru in case of a fall or something.
For all intent and purposes it will probably be fine. Just remember the 3.5 fid bury length recommended by Samson is around 18”.View attachment 13749I just built this today, actually turned a dyneema dog bone into an adjustable bridge onto my lineman loops. Lost 2 carabiners.

Ok, first I spliced a locked brummel on the tag end (this will later be pulled through the core to create the whoopie).So you just send the loop end back up thru the center of the rope? How is it secured beyond that? Does it lock down on itself? Or are you just expecting the brummel on the tag loop to stop the rope from coming back thru in case of a fall or something.
You're correct. However, I need a decently short bridge for my DRT climbing. Knowing that and knowing I couldn't get the bury I truly wanted, I added the fail safe if the locked brummel on the tag end. Not shown in the picture, I lock the brummel to the binder along with the bridge. It held my 235 lbs yesterday just fine while DRT climbing.For all intent and purposes it will probably be fine. Just remember the 3.5 fid bury length recommended by Samson is around 18”.
That's what I've been thinking about doing. Trying out SRT this year and looking for a short bridge. Can you tell me your measurements?View attachment 13749I just built this today, actually turned a dyneema dog bone into an adjustable bridge onto my lineman loops. Lost 2 carabiners.
I can't quite remember off the top of my head, I can pull some measurements for you when I get home from work.That's what I've been thinking about doing. Trying out SRT this year and looking for a short bridge. Can you tell me your measurements?
