can i do this as easily with slightly thicker rope? aswell i wont be jamming the carabiner inbetween rocks it will be over a wooden beam would it break with a cheaper one? holding aprox 190 lbs
What are you trying to achieve? I tied it on 11mm rope, which has a breaking strength over 2000kg. Is it for a life support system? The whole system is as weak as the weakest link. For climbing only use ropes and carabiners that are rated for climbing.
I'm using this knot for a long rope dog leash. With a 1/2 thick 15ft leash- supposedly climbing grade-, the knot was still easy to achieve with a climbing grade carbiner (3000ibs load mark). I'm not sure how strong you need the knot to be, but it was easy to achieve with my rope! :)

That must be a very big dog if you need 3000lbs rope :)
Thank You very much!
Good to hear it was useful to you 👍
