jamie,

thats a shame... better luck next time.

about that MT, as far as i know the MT is tied with a endless stroop ( like you would use for a standard prusik loop ) and is then tied with double rope. so you do not need to tie the single ends off to the caribiner, just clip into the loop and then tie the MT, with the two legs parallel to each other, and then clip the other loop(end) back into the biner. so really the only knot you have is the double fishermans knot of the endless stroop.

if you can follow that???? please correct me someone if i'm wrong.
