...anyway. you would biner to your D ring and then slide the rope through the captive eye.....and then tie your prussic to the rope (i use the distel) and then put scaffold knots to the captive eye on either side of the rope.

bang. instant self adjusting fliline adjuster. no extra snaps or pulleys.

i love it man, been using it since i found that thread. highly recommend it.

Well now aint that cute. Son of a gun I think I'm going to have to make myself a rope flipline just to see that work. Thanks OD!

Oldirty - what kind of rope are you using for your flipline? You said it is 9/16 - is it double braid, 3 strand, kernmantle, 16, 12, or "Other"?

just about 14 ft off of my short climbing line. it might be a 16 strand. i do have a 9/16th but to be honest i dont use it all that much.


its a 1/2inch that i am using now.
