I wonder why you chose a Soloist over the Silent Partner. Your set up is definitely cleaner (the SP becomes a huge mess with biners and loops of rope), but it looks like you have no back up system.

[AronSensei]

@ThePugnitopo I chose the Soloist because its smaller, lighter, cheaper, and I don't like that you have to tie a clove hitch in the SP. Eventually the rope is going to get kinked from the SP (just my hunch, I can't say that with certainty). I don't use a backup system usually, you are correct. Its too difficult to climb hard routes and undo backup knots. I just don't fall, but I feel confident enough to guage and predict my falls. Personal choice...
