Ropeman 1 with summit lifeline?

[Jamo318]

Has anyone tried, or have any information on using a ropeman with the Summit lifeline rope?

What’s the purpose of using it over a soft rope grab?

Yes, works great. easier to slide than a prussik knot. More secure and safer if rope is icy or you panic and grab prussic. just need some hockey tape on carabiner to quiet the contact.

Been using the Ropeman since last year and it works much better than prussic imo.

Great man thanks. Wasn’t exactly sure of the rope diameter so wanted to make sure it worked ok.

Pretty much what everyone said. The 1 works well with the HS and Muddy lifelines as well

I’ve had no issues doing the same thing.

I run a prussic on my summit lifelines.

Ropeman isn't rated for fall protection....

That said, I use one on my teather with my saddle.

My actual plan was to cannibalize the lifeline to make a couple extra lineman’s belts to use with my saddle.
