Hi again,
First, the rope-to-rope splice isn't in any current book, but will be in a future one. Next, the sheaves here are industrial-size, relative to 3/16", or even 1/4" wire rope, so meathooks should be long-deferred. And finally, uncovered HM rope would do just fine, except it would likely be more subject to chafe than wire.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
