A device and method are shown for splicing a rope of the type made up of multiple strands. A frame is adapted to receive a length of rope to be spliced. A flexible cable extending between sides of the frame secures the rope within the frame. A fluid actuated piston-cylinder and cable-pulley arrangement cooperate to provide an upwardly biasing force to bias a selected strand of the rope outwardly from the remaining rope strands secured within the frame. The user of the device can then pass a strand free end through the opening to effect a splice.
