uss Olliver Rope Build -01

Russ Oliver read an article in Crossfit Journal showing how to braid your own climbing rope and thought it was a great idea. Then he thought about what it would be like trying to manage 8 thirty foot lengths of rope. Russ made a few string bracelets back it the day ….

This article was shared in several Kumihimo groups. The link seems to have originated from a climbing forum. Because Wheat did not want it to “disappear”, we are sharing it here – with permission recently (Oct 2013) received from Russ Olliver. We are pleased to share it with you.

    Thank you for finding and re-publishing that wonderful article! I may not foresee my ever becoming enamoured of Kumihimo, but I love anything to do with ropes, cord, string, thread. I’m just still stuck on knitting and crocheting.;)

    I was just thinking today about utilizing the kumihimo technique to climbing ropes. I found this in my search results. Thank you for sharing. It has been very helpful.
