I'm sure the hook will work but the way the force is being put on it is not the way that was intended....it's like the safety book u got with ur biner showed in the drawing....the hook is being pulled in 3 directions vs it's intended 2 directions...the strap will be trying to pry apart and if u slipped and all ur weight came down on the right side of the aider the hook is going to want to rotate clockwise making the hook wanna come out of the eye of the strap potentially.....I'm sure it'll work but I think if it were me, I would brainstorm on a more secure connection than the hook. Threading and unthreading isn't the best but I think the delta link was designed for this type of application
Edit: psshhh... I didn't understand exactly what u were asking....u want to eliminate the hook right?
