Is this tie safe? Quick check before I load it by newrope22 » Tue Aug 18, 2026 #1

New to harnesses, go easy on me. Want a sanity check on whether this tie’s safe before I load it. Overthinking this?

Starter kit, big dreams.

Replies are other people's experience, not medical advice. If something has gone numb, cold, weak or painful, take the rope off first and ask a doctor, not a board.

What a critique is actually reading

A photograph shows shape and tension. It cannot show circulation, nerve position, or how the person in it was doing, so nobody here can tell you a tie is safe from a picture.

  1. How ties are built: what a good critique is looking at
  2. How rope skill progresses, so you can tell whether yours is
  3. Where to take your rope after the basics
  4. What a photograph cannot show you: nerve safety
