An instant rope pad
If you need to quickly pad a fixed rope that’s running over a sharp edge, try this trick.
Take a 4 foot or longer runner, ideally a less expensive nylon sling rather than a $$$ spectra one. Tie a Klemheist knot with as many wraps as you can around the rope. Slide this knot over the point where the rope contacts the edge. Any abrasion will rub on the runner, not your rope sheath. If you really want to anchor it in place, tape the Klemheist knot to the rope.
