Do you see "crimped metal ferrule" in that list of end treatments? If you HAVE to have something metallic there, I think currently your options are magnetic paint or whipping it with steel wire/cable. I seriously wouldn't get my hopes up about that, though. I think that's likely to get shot down about a day after the Q&A opens.
Back on the knots subject, in case anyone hasn't done the math, it looks like the davit has about 22" of steel guide below where the attachment knot should go. So a knot in your rope should be about 7" below the steel channel of the davit. Not sure how far below the touchpad that puts you, but it's definitely close. I'm assuming y'all are thinking of regularly spaced knots and a notched pulley?

From the knots and loops school of thought, Ri3D 'Snow Problem is attempting a climber that will essentially act as a winch on a rope with a loop at the end, using rotating pegs and a
cam cleat. We should have a video of our prototype on Monday (it's linked to our intake, and is basically just an interesting concept that isn't much of a risk for us if it doesn't work out).
