A tenex sleeve could be whipped to the rope...then it's just a matter of if the knot holds. IT would be very thick. Perhaps a piece of the cover of a larger double braid. The strands would be thinner than the tenex/yalex, and the hole inside would be larger to accomodate the climbing line.

Are you tying directly to the front dee ring? Honestly, if you splice the climbing line, and use a spliced split tail, but still using a Blakes hitch, there is even LESS clutter than if you are tying a clove hitch to the 1 carabiner. 2 splices ARE smaller than 1 clove hitch.

Do you have the right sized tenex?

Well what about this. Instead of slicing the beeline to the tail what about slicing the beeline with a large eye splice then use it to make a prussik right above the slice of your climbing line. Would still be one biner but it would give you the freedom to use it on any line you would like.

Just a thought .

Climber020- Good idea, but why not just splice a SMALLER eye, then connect it straight to the 'biner.

I'm just not seeing the value here....but I'll be glad to splice it!

never mind, i was trying to eliminate certain things on my tie in. If i wanted a small eye splice or a biner i'd get a small eye splice and a biner. Perhaps my idea got lost in my wording...
