That knot to adjust the sling length is called a Belgian Knot. Useful in canyoning with an alpine-canyon-quickdraw

i was looking for a solution like this yesterday on a crane I had to ride with some gear. Love it.. You've quickly become my work bible over the years

What a clever way to shorten that sling!

@lachimsalim Жыл бұрын

So the sling working load is 1ton and it brakes at 3.4ton and they are made to brake 1:5 ratio still good enough for light work even with the knot

Perhaps it’s an odd question but, if the sling is damaged and you want to isolate it would it be a “better” solution to cut the damage area and then tie a water knot with the sling instead of using an overhand? Maybe it wouldn’t matter but I’m curious. 🧐

Awesome man! I want to see the adjustable technique pulled to failure on a rainbow Texora sling! This one is always up for discussion at work.

Holy moly, I just looked and realized I never posted it. I broke one of those and it was like 140kn. So even if it broke at 50% it might still be super good enough :). I'll try posting that video in next day or 2..

@@HowNOT2 Oh snap! 140kN, guess discussions is over then. 💪 Looking forward to the episode! Keep up the good work Brian. 🤗

Would you ever use the shortening method in a climbing application? how bad do you think it would be in a thin dyneema climbing sling?

Adjust length of anchor in toprope? Also: also, no idea.

I have used this for a climbing sling before, i definitely want to test it. I assume it would reduce it by half if I had to guess.

m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pq-ihpShlqqpl5s.html It’s been tested! I wouldn’t use it on dyneema or other UHMWPE slings, it slips and reduces strength by at least half. Now we need the drop tower test!
