Rope around a tight bend	7-Apr-2010 At 4:03:07 PM	carry
Message
My question is directed to people who use a double rope to abseil and then pull their rope through. Typically you clip the rope mid point to your anchor via two opposed locking caribiners. Seems reasonable. But what about using a pair of maillons instead? Or what about using a single 6mm maillon (should hold 1750kg)? Any sharp bend (or knot) reduces the breaking strength of your rope. I want a clearer idea of by how much. I've been searching the internet for days without being able to turn up any real data. Maybe i'm missing something, but this seems odd to me. Has anyone done stress testing of various diameter ropes looped around various diameter pins?
