Ok. Who's brilliant idea was this? Here we have a dynamic rope clove hitched around two opposite and opposed non-lockers. That's sort of like a traffic cop using a tank to pull over speeders - overkill AND ineffective. When clove hitching with a dynamic rope, use ONE locker, no more no less. Cloved ropes can twist and open gates on non-lockers when weighted (not a problem with thin cord). Perhaps these folks were trying to prevent this issue by using the two non-lockers. This set up decreases the safety of the clove hitch - the hitch requires the surface area of one round biner to hold, with two it can slip... Don't show your mom, cause she'd be pissed.
