That's one reason why splicing has become so popular. If you are keen to give splicing a go, you will find everything you need to know in this book. A must-have for every tree climbers library even if you don't intend splicing your own rope - the background information regarding rope construction is invaluable. Includes a full color rope identification chart, featuring 52 different ropes, construction and class designation. Over 30 different splices grouped by 7 types of rope construction. Durable cover and spiral bound for 'lay-flat' reading.
