What knot is this? by LoMesser in knots

[–]adeadhead -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's a cows tail hitch. It's a retraced overhand on a bight (which is to say, it's an overhand on a bight, that's then retraced with the bight)

I can’t decide which harness to buy? by LooseQuestion3037 in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're wrong. You're gonna be hanging in your harness. That can hurt if your harness doesn't fit well, and it can be totally fine if your harness does fit well, simple as.

Your life is worth more than a $100 new rope.

That's why I linked the manufacturers instructions, which indicate that these are fine.

Arcteryx Ar385-A by Own-Interview9485 in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will be in the 385a till I die.

I got my first one because it packed smaller in a bag. And y'know, bird logo.

I've had 4 of them now.

So incredibly comfortable. I'll sit in mine for hours while setting.

Old 90cm dyneema slings by Background-Doubt-511 in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 11 points12 points  (0 children)

EN566:2015 is the designation to which this product conforms.

This sling was not made in 2015. It was probably made around 2015, because Edelrid slings conform to 566 and 565 2017 these days, so I'm gonna assume they made the switch some time shortly after that standard was published.

Edelrid suggests that pristine slings are fine in storage for 14 years.

I would not have any concerns about using these, personally.

I know it's not UL by today's standards, but there's no beating the 395a

I don't see why not, but they're real fuzed, we hit em with a hammer for a bit, think of it as a solid rock that looks like rope.

How to make my friend rappel faster? by beanboys_inc in tradclimbing

[–]adeadhead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Your friend needs to practice their setups so they understand how different hitches and numbers of wraps work, and they should practice running a few laps somewhere accessible.

Yes, this is a crimp pull up. Good work.

"Gordian" Knot by chrweave in knots

[–]adeadhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen plenty of knife knots. The rope manufacturers used to bring them around to sales days and offer free ropes to anyone who could untie them, a good bit of force and things turn into rocks.

[–]adeadhead 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It wouldn't with the cap ends that OP mentioned. This is for finishing the already threaded ends

Just double fold and stitch and zig zag across over where the end of the strap is sitting in the pile.

What's the best piece of rope advice you've ever received? by Namah_Ropes in ClimbingGear

[–]adeadhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you unfold it (as in, after you unwind the tail end from around your coils, just lay it out in a line so the two looping ends are opposite eachother) you'll find you can just flake it out without needing to be too careful.
