...btw - good idea for retrieval,
@moss; very trim. Question though: are you using this arrangement in a situation where anchoring at the desired point
requires a choke? I'm asking because otherwise - unless a choke was required - you could just use the typical MRS lanyard configuration and not be any worse for wear on length of line required, correct? Retrieval with a choked config still requires a length of lanyard 2x the distance to the anchor point.
When I use a choking config, I usually do it because I need more length than my lanyard would otherwise allow, so I end up going back for retrieval.
The following, using an Eashook Open's eye, is what I end up doing for the sake of expediency, sometimes. Namely, treating the eye of the Eashook as if it's a ring. As you can imagine, rope doesn't exactly slide through there like a normal choking configuration would allow, so it's mainly a problem of adjusting the length the cinch to being about the size of the stem being choked.
