Yeah, as much as I hate to admit it... Oh what the hell....
The rope ended up where it did cuz at that point, the cover plate nut on my 011 came loose and the bar started sagging, chain went slack...
I caught it in time that I could finger tighten it so it wouldn't fall apart before my descent. Sun was going down, I didn't want to reclimb it, so I just rigged from right there. I haven't used poles and such for setting ropes yet, and was strapped for time. Tree was small, placement was "okay", and I didn't think it unsafe.
Normally I'd not want to admit to such a noob-lamer reason for attatching my line kinda low, but I *did* ask for criticism, so I thought I might as well explain it. My bad.
Actually, where I attatched was right where a union started. Otherwise I'd have had to pick one or the other, or try to tie it so that both were tied equally with no slip. I said screw it and just put it right there.
