For basically my entire rope climbing years, I had been fixing a small metal (stainless steel or brass) boat clip on the end of the climbing line, for rigging it up over the crotch, just to avoid any knot tying, especially in dark or frigid conditions. I am now eliminating that and replacing it with a cord. It will not only pass through a tighter crotch, but the elimination of metal was necessary if I want to use the same rope for the JRB Hitch Climbing method.
