Yeah I agree with ya. Wouldn't be any trouble to through a loop between the tibloc's biner and my harness. Good point.

Quercus, I've been using the tiblocs for several years now. Used simple prussik's before that. If you use the propper rope diameter, the tibloc's really don't damage the rope any more than say, the minitraxion itself, or their "basic" model would. On rope that is too thin or too thick though, it can rough up the outter surface, especially on stuff that's too thin... it tends to slip through and the teeth work it over.

On normal 7/16" line though they work beautifully. I like em cuz they're quick, lightweight, and I can slap one on one-handed.
