Those of you who are splicing your own ropes, I'd love to hear how it came out. I spent quite a while looking for a someone in Mass. to do it. Visited many a professional splicing companies. All turned me away either refusing to do it or trying and failing. New England ropes could only refer me to one company that they would trust in Mass. with such a tricky splice. I personaly would only resort to the various arborist supply companies for splicing safety blue.
