Love it! The more we use systems like this, the more I consider ditching my cordelette entirely.

I hear you! However the cordelette is still a great self rescue tool for climbing a loaded rope… I’m not 100% Dyneema yet but I might be soon…

For 2-piece girth anchors, make sure to add the sliding-x twist before girth hitching your masterpoint carabiner/ring. This captures the masterpoint if one leg unclips and slips, just like in a sliding X. Check out Yann Camus's videos about it.

This simple mod only requires putting a half twist in any of just one of the loops being fed through the primary biner/ring, as the hitch is being formed. Significantly increases strength, should one of the separate loops fail, with no extra complications.

I'm sure this would be a lot more useful if you showed in slower motion and up close, how you're attaching the ring to the sling. You clearly know what you're doing but the viewer doesn't necessarily, so it would be helpful to explain clearly what you're doing and show how you're doing it.

Great suggestion! I will get a video up soon showing how to actually tie this hitch onto a rappel ring

Forgot I did make this one last year that is probably a better angle to see how this is tied... I'll still look to make a better one with a first person view kzread.info/dash/bejne/fY2pks-xlqjbe5M.html

@@NorthEastAlpineStart Nice one, thanks for the link. 👍 I could see clearly in this how you did it. Do you ever use a 'Girth X' anchor? I saw another YT just after yours and it looked to be quite a useful - and possibly more secure - anchor in that it took more force for the remaining connection to start slipping in the event of one of the anchor points failing.
