Specialed,
I personally would frown upon using anything but a conventional rope. But if you had to do it I bet you could work through the difficulties of the rope gunslingin through the rap device if you had gloves. But maybe not too. So in general I don't think it would be accepted practice. However who knows I could be full of shit and maybe in the Beckey days when they tied the ropes to thier dongs and lead 5.8 cracks in all star converse they did it once or 20 times....
