    Sticht Hitch

    the big ring on the figure 8 is captured below the wraps on a distel hitch. not midline attachable. tends smoothly. (the snap biner is for demonstration only). @Brocky probably knows the correct hitch to use instead of the distel.

    Canopy Anchors

    the fact that it is named the "soft 8" makes me wonder if there's such thing as "hard 8" for this purpose. These are things i ponder on long hikes.

    alternating between SRT and DdRT

    great way to explain it! the big benefit of climbing on the petzl spin is the single direction pulley removes friction as you would expect of a pulley, but adds enough friction on the holding/tending and release phases to run it with easy finger pressure so it doesn't destroy your hands and biceps
