cheers dude,

yeah i could switch out the cord in the grillon for a 5m... BUT the spec for the course asks for 2 individual strop setups, so I can only imagine that both may be required at the same time. Im also thinking using a prusik secured one as well as a camming one covers me as per it being part of the course to do everything with knots as well as with hardware.

Ive tried getting in touch with the instructor but thus far had no luck. the centre itself is drawing a blank.


did some measuring. an eye splice on a length of rope uses 28inches
tying a double fishermans uses 18 inches of half inch rope
a stitched eye only uses 5inches of the length up so would be the desireable choice...

perhaps I should get 5 1/2m of applicable cord and by the time ive tied a double fishermans onto the snaphook at one end and a fig8 stopper the other, it'll be 5m
