Sep 27, 2016 at 3:33 comment added SwimBikeRun Not sure which I got. I got the red one, not the green one.

Sep 25, 2016 at 17:25 comment added SwimBikeRun This is the product I went with - highly recommended - amazon.com/RopePro-Extreme-Rope-Protector/dp/B00KUWG1TW/…
Sep 25, 2016 at 17:22 comment added SwimBikeRun it worked great! Was pretty easy to velcro up the sheaths and they sat on the hard corner of the roof. I've climbed that one maybe 4 times now using that system. So much fun and much less rope wear now.
Sep 22, 2016 at 1:46 comment added ShemSeger @SwimBikeRun So how'd it go?
Sep 28, 2015 at 20:10 comment added SwimBikeRun Nice link. That's a cool system. Unfortunately I think there is good chance it would flip that one too and take it off the edge. This problem involves a huge swinging roof fall where the angle after the roof is still at least 80 degrees steep, not giving a lot of holding power to the rollers. Maybe hooking the rollers in with some nuts / cams and accessory cord would be an option, but they are also very heavy and expensive. I hope the rope sheaths work! I'll report back in about a month when I head back to that project for round 3.

Sep 28, 2015 at 16:43 comment added ShemSeger @SwimBikeRun Unlikely, but if you're concerned about it then you can get a roll module like this one, it's got vertical and horizontal rollers.
Sep 28, 2015 at 16:02 comment added SwimBikeRun Nice. I knew there must be something like that. Ordered two of the tube styles. I saw the rollers previously but both their weight and price are obnoxious. Also i don't see the rope staying on them in a fall on this problem. Even if they are velcroed to the rope, the rope will probably flip them over.
