Rich and John at the 2008 TCIA Expo in Milwaukee, wowing the crowd with splicing perfection.....

Splicing can be a very rewarding part of your climbing work.  Doing it correctly and safely takes time and patience to learn.  The Splicing Symposium instructors are not only the best at splicing, but they have a lot of experience helping others learn how to make great, safe splices for their own use.
 
Come and learn from the best and have fun at the same time.
