Go to EWO, get a madrock hsm or something like that. It has a wide short side that works perfect in the ropeman. I use a ropeman out of spec on 8mm, and the madrock(the one on eastern woods outdoors) kinda of fills the void.. the other thing I like about it is how big the other side is. I often rest my fingers inside my carabiner while I’m hanging out and they fit well. That oval doesn’t……I do use the singing rock(from EWO) for rappelling. It’s an oval and not the best for more than one finger resting. Both rocks(mad and singing) are available on EWO, and if you haven’t got your first EWO sticker, it’s time. EVERYTHING you need is there and geared towards saddle hunting……except the @beaston roll pouch
I use a few biners from Amazon (not recommended) too. I bought a 3 pack of auto locking carabiners that were well packaged and had weight ratings…..I forgot what they were, but I use one for my secondary bridge and one on my rappel line.
I trust them, find something YOU trust enough to put your life on.
BTW-welcome to the addiction! Have fun and be safe!
