yakimuchacho Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I scrambled up to the Talon this summer intending to climb the 5.7 route. The two FP's at the start of the climb have welded rings through the eyes. What is the best way to clip in? Should one sling (girth hitch) the pin close to the rock, clip in to the ring, or both?

Drederek Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 If its sticking out far enuf to sling it I would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ken4ord Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Doesn't really matter, though most of the time I will girth hitch the pin if I am in a good stance. The only reason I do that is because, I have eliminated using one biner (1 less item that could fail in the complete system), also you don't have to think about which way the gate is facing or whether or not the biner would be loaded wrong in the event of a fall.
