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 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 16:02 | 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. | |
