Have you ever tried setting up a leather cambium saver type of device to make the rope glide through more easily?  |
Just to let ya know a "cambium device" really should only be used for climbing and not rigging or felling... Because it is primarily a tool used for climbing and supporting your life
. Bit like pulling a tree over with your climbing rope
.
When I tie my throwline to the climbing rope I do a series of hitches up to the end of the rope with the throwline. I start at the "stub" end of the rope doing all half hitches probably 30-50cm down the rope then terminate with a timber hitch. That way you're supporting a bigger piece of the rope if one half hitch comes off you've got 2-20 more holding it then a timberhitch.
