There's lots of new guys jumping right into this stuff and they might not understand the danger

Turning the carabiner down the tree decreases the angle that the spine is against the tree .not increases it.this puts more of the spine on the tree not less.making it less likely to bend.atleast you understand it is not sideloading on a corner.and the threads we hang from will break first.still gunna use them
That's brilliant, thanks!
Can’t imagine a better test of cross loading.
What is that holding your rope from moving in the carabiner? Looks like 3 links of molle.
Wouldnt have needed all that if you had just 2TC'd that tree.I did this today. I brought up the wrong sling with me for my SRT redirect. As you can see, the tag was still on it lol. I had to basket hitch it
It's a 50kN carabiner and my primary tie in was on a crotch about 30' above this. View attachment 102040
