Hi all. can u use a ropeman 2 on slings at a belay . I have tried it at home and it seams very good at holding but would like advise first?
Also any other tricks I should know would be very handy. Thanks in advance.Luke.
Wildcountry specifically say you shouldn't do this. The ropeman 3 can do this, because it doesn't rely on the karabiner. That being said they also say you shouldn't use a ropeman to self belay, but I did that today.
Sorry, that last sentence muddied the waters, I really wouldn't use that on a sling. I can't quite see how it is that necessary either, there are millions of ways to equalise your belay without resorting to auto blocks.
In reply to Harry Martin: avoid any large falls, or falling close to the anchor where the fall factor would be higher. The ropeman can strip the sheath, or cut through the rope entirely!
