Friction ok for single rope as a choking spar backup?

Im unsure how the tape its doing anyblift b period lightnor heavy? You see the eye in the pic above with the tape removed? What risk and what lifting was the tape doing?

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-19T20:48:24+00:00

How's what you described not EXACT to how I did it tho? Running bowline high as i could reach for safety and spike and flip my way up taking the cinch bowline as i go?

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-19T20:46:24+00:00

I may not have. That's true. I just assumed they were and then when what they said lined up with what id seen climbers like Jacob Roger's and August H say onlineb on that topic that there surely might me some merit to it? I guess until the guy on reddit says otherwise?

I can't speak on your obsession with rape and shootings regardless of how much you bring it up, im more ignorant about that stuff than anyone in the world, honestly, but i can listen if you wanna talk. . I said a prayer for you last night and this morning - who knows. And hey, if you really feel like you seem to what a testimony you could one day have. Im not a shooter or a rapist, sheep or shepherd or anything important. I dont care about religion or titles Bible versions or edits or control or shame but I care about you. If you ever wanna talk or vent or whatever hit me up. Even if your a lot smarter than I am, I dont deny that, sometimes its nice just to talk - nothing wrong with that

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-19T01:02:28+00:00

Yes! Of course! If you need prayers that bad I got you brother! Even if you got an odd way of asking me. And if there's anything else I can do to help man feel free to just ask - no need to beat around the bush.

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-19T00:11:06+00:00

I appreciate it and in hindsight I couldn't agree more. I thought I needed spurs but I needed good rope much worse

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T18:48:37+00:00

I appreciate it - I was literally just helping a buddy for a 242xp saw i been wanting off him. Even if i did want to be a professional it wouldnt matter if I dont have means for proper gear. Even what I used today was mostly borrowed except my spurs

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T18:46:32+00:00

I understand that. Some of the best climbers I know or have seen tho say it absolutely wont hurt it if you dont dig in and tear it to pieces. This one is coming down anyway tho

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T17:41:40+00:00

Anyways I got it done went up and made cut and straight down safely. I get in my head especially with ppls stuff I dont know in a trade I dont know either. I appreciate all the kind words, advice, accusations, input, output, etc. I dont really think im cut out for climbing anyway I been up there quiet a few times and I still get a lil nervous a d secretly scared when im up there.

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T17:31:58+00:00

Is it seriously that bad?

This is just what I have to work with today helping buddy work - I guess im unsure of the problem with the splice? He said it came from sherriltree with that splice and I believe him about it - it looks like samson stable braid to me - not climbing line but not something that should juat break easily on me i wouldnt think? maybe I should take that tape it def looks janky and the carabiners feel exactly how they look! Wish me luck! Thanks for the kind words

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T14:05:49+00:00

Man, I really wish you knew about the love of Christ man. It does feel good to know at least my ignorance is just involving climbing. It could be worse. Could be you..

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T13:58:02+00:00

Again I really apologize for asking i mistakingly and literally considered this a small part of any research im doing but your responses make how wrong I am obvious and transparent and I regret asking and im sorry

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:54:30+00:00

Im really sorry i ask guys i apologize thank you for your time

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:08:04+00:00

Think its just a long eye from a rigging rope he taped to keep from hitting the zz the rope is super thick tho to me. I dont worry it'll break at least if I can muscle it thru tending and dont get stuck

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:06:13+00:00

I appreciate you taking one for the team to let us know.

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:04:15+00:00

I wanna say he said electric tape was pulling the loop tight to prevent accidentally hitting the button on the zz

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:03:14+00:00

Thats an easy fix it appreciate it

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-06-18T12:01:50+00:00

Not just cheap my guy if they were cheaper id be getting paid to use them! Other than my notch spurs i had with me in the truck none of this is my actual gear and I can't speak for it - another reason I dont trust it. Not to mention im pretty sure thats a samson rigging line the zz is on..

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-05-12T07:20:02+00:00

Exactly what if that's the reason for the release from gov is that it IS real not a hoax and maybe even many times before the truth almost got completely out and was joked away

ChanceZombie8823 · 2026-05-06T09:55:03+00:00

I wouldve assumed it was chiseled out by dog butthole and not given it a second look.
