Best anchor for bridge on saddle

[treeman75]

I have been using a master classic saddle with a double locking snap with a blakes. I just recieved my cougar and was wondering the best way to hook on to the bridge and still use my blakes. This is the snap I have been using. Aluminum Locking Rope Snap, 2 Colors : SherrillTree Tree Care Equipment

One of these, clip your snap to one side and a biner with split tail to the other side.

I go with two ball locking carabiners. One on each side I don't clip into the middle D ring

Will the snap clear the holes? I would just stop using the snap and just use one or two auto locking biners. I have a swivel on my bridge and I like. Either way. imo...I wouldn't tie with the snap.

Zip Line Pulley on bridge

I put one of these on the rope bridge of my Cougar. Besides offering a larger hole for up to three carabiners, the two pulleys spreads the load on the bridge and the harness is not squeezed as much so is more comfortable. It also limits the absolute travel of the pulley on the bridge which I find feels more secure when rolling to the side.

No, most rope snaps are too large to fit through a standard 'biner hole, but it would probably work with the pulley I posted, I can try it out later this morning as we gear up for today's job.

OK here is my Cougar with the trolley pulley:

The rope snap from my flip line doesn't go fully through the pulley's 'binder hole but why would you use a rope snap as a termination point for a climbing line?
