A short while ago, someone posted about Clamcleats. I took the plunge and ordered a pair of the polycarbonate and aluminum ones. Man, these things are sweet. Paired with the stock Hennessy rope they make set up a snap. Treehuggers threaded through each other, carabinet in the empty loop, line from the cleat through the carabiner and back. Once they set under weight, they do not slip. They are also surprisingly light, though slightly bulky. I may just stick with these rather than convert to whoopie slings.
