I'm getting comfortable one-sticking up and rappelling down. I'm using a figure 8 on bight and girth hitch to anchor to the tree, but I would like to find some sort of 'biner type device I could use on the loop to make it easier to rethread the rope. Every time I come to a limb that I need to work around, I have to unthread the rope and re-thread it through the loop as I leap frog the tree limb. It just seems like it's ripe with opportunity for me to drop something while fumbling around. Having something that I could just snap out/in would make it much easier (I think).
I'm very leery of the biner side-loading, so I'm curious if there are any hard devices out there that are approved for that type use.
TIA,
CJ
