rope snap?

[John Paul Sanborn]

I know a few guys who cut the stock strap off so they could use a hardwear like the Petzl swivle and dog snaps fixed to the bridge.

The swivle then acts as a floating D that you can get twists out without unclipping.

If it says Denny Morehouse, It's got to be good.

Though i've tried using standard snaps to clip into my spliced eye, and was not comfortable with it.

Do you have that thing KF??

Can you fit a fixe and one or two ends of cord on it without it being akward?

Just curious.

Ken does not need the tress cord yet, remember he's just graduated from tieing the rope to his saddle
