Hello All
Has anyone cut and finished the end of Sterling TRC? Can I melt it? If not I could serve it.
It is not necessary to read below but if interested it's why I asked the above.
I am going to 8mm oplux for my two lineman ropes, one of which at height becomes my tether. I have ropeman 1s (currently on Sterling HTC 10mm), they are too large for oplux. I could go to a CT RollNLock but I am learning and I learned that in fall arrest a jaw is not as good as a friction knot and could strip a sheath on a rope. So after some research I tried tying a Michoacan Hitch with TRC on my HTC 10mm. It worked awesome, slide very easy, gripped quickly and very well, released easily post load. Having it self tending was a nice feature. I have tried Prusiks, this was much much better. I can't wait to try it on my Oplux, two 8.5' with 6" sewn eye still on the way. It was not as silky as my ropemans but very very nice to work with. I was impressed. I will put up another post as well when I get it all setup and get some hours on it so I can speak from more experience. I will speak about the whole setup of the two rope types and the hitch and how they are working for me. Someone else is probably considering it.
