 Topic - Slings and spikes
|
|---|
 by - 2PointO  on - 18 Sep 2012 |
Just wondering, I've always assumed that the best practice when putting a sling over a thin spike to use as a runner (particularly in places like Avon where there are old iron spikes to be slung) is to use a clove hitch to stop it from lifting off when you climb past it. However, does anyone know what the risk is of a dyneema sling melting through itself if you fell on it when using a clove hitch?
Obviously I am talking about falling with a dynamic rope in the system when using the sling as a runner, not falling directly onto the sling.
Cheers, Stu. |
