Bring Back Daisy

Old news. I'm too lazy to use two carabiners. Instead, I have a figure eight knot tied near the end loop. That way if the stiching blows there is not catastrophic failure. And yes, I know that the knot weakens the daisy. Instead of 20 kN it is probably only 10 kN. I always belay tied in using the rope anyway.

VERY old news indeed CBS. Yet, you'd be astonished how many gumbies show up in Squish using their daisies like this....

I got two of those PAS for my wife and myself after reading about how using a daisy can make you push up the daisies!!!

I've used one all season and I think they're great. Absolutely no issues with anchoring.

oh how i want one of those

been using a clove hitch in the rope for about 15+ years and still alive.

Always someone says that. Do you use that when you are rappelling too? No question, you can't beat the rope as a tie-in. It's adustable even! At some point you'll likely need an independent anchor, be it a sling or whatever.

I'm soooo surprised this thread hasn't gone to spray yet. What's up?

[shapp]

tie in with rope on way up, slings on way down, then don't have extra shiz getting in the way.

I can't stand daisy chains. I only use them on walls.

[Mos_Chillin]

Even when I use a daisy, I always back it up with the rope. Easy.

If you use double ropes, you shouldn't even use a daisy.

Don't worry they are just for leaders anyways...
