Atypical short safety

[SomethingWitty]

I had to just tie something up today, and thought I would share because I am digging it.
The string is 3/8 ultratech with an 8mm RIT eye to eye with an extra small bat rigging plate as the tender which routes it in a way that feels better than it looks like it should.
The paw fit over the sewn eye in this tiny rope and gives me a hitchclimber capability. It tends really well from the side that it is set to tend from (the left in these pictures).

I was just trying to squeeze by while my lanyard was occupied, but I think this system might stay on this line.

I usually use a rope slider, but this seems just as smooth without the flop that I get with my shizll.

Anybody else running anything weird?

The rigging plate is an interesting concept there. I think I have one of those. May be trying that next week

I've used a DMM swivel for that application. It works fairly well. HC configuration is with both biners in the same eye and the fall running through the opposite swivel eye. The swivel does follow the fall when tending in different directions, but the less angle the better...that is unless you're using 8mm EpiCORD, which is like butterscotch.

I've ised a brass swivel snap too. Fixed eye on the biner, snap on the fall. No HC config, but still nice for a DdRT style hip to hip config., or SRT config.

I have been looking for an excuse to get one of those shiny swivels.
If all of our gear looked as ratty when I bought it as it does after a few months I might only have as much gear as I need...
I have tried the snaps before. They work. Kinda sloppy, but anything beats an English prussic without a chaser or an old school buckstrap. I have also run a large key ring, among other things. It grabs at the point where it opens and plucks fibers.
