Help with my opposing nuts problem 31-Jan-2013 At 9:00:41 AM tris

It's an interesting problem. I have a possible solution, but it's not elegant (or necessarily recommended).

You could clip a quickdraw into the lower directional nut, clip a single biner into the upper primary nut and then clip the single biner directly into the upper biner of the quickdraw (badly drawn MS paint diagram below to help with my explanation). You would probably want to weigh down the quickdraw with some extra gear (if you can) to prevent any of the biners from rotating so their gates are loaded.

There are downsides with this setup, such as having a biner clipped directly to another biner, but it does eliminate some of the issues you would have with the extra length added by using two biners with a clove hitched sling.

What do you think? Too dodgy? Or better than the originally marginal piece?
