Pretty sure it's a 10mm. Similar size to a three way Biner and super solid

Carabiners have poor off axis strength, a mallion is probably a better choice

 

Yes, I cant disagree with you!

Giorgio Fiori excellent videos are food for thought though. Have you seen his demo load test on a side loaded alloy crab in a sinch configuration ?

I have not seen Giorgio's I will watch it later, I did read about the destructive testing Tefeulberger did depending on stem diameter and type of carabiners (bar profile v oval/ibeam) failures occurred as low as 4-6kn.

 

Going back to mallions I have seen this which is an interesting idea.

That's a cool idea with the spanner left on there.

I use that same delta link with a butterfly and enough tail to retrieve.

 

May go fun and old spanner to grind down and try this

Simple, failsafe.

[Steve Bullman]

Took me a few minutes to work out how that spanner could be any use when it was already on the mallion

It's great and smoother to retrieve than pinto set up imo .

An absolute nut ache to re set if you haven't isolated a final tip. Any easier ways of re setting?

Thank God for that! Thought I was on my own for a minute!

I got that from JB's Facebook page so credit to him.

What I'm using right now, ring locked off one side with a alpine butterfly fly below, carabiner as backup incase it undoes itself. Ignore the little dmm crab it's not necessary. Can be installed from the ground or tree
