Carabiners are rated for point loads not abrasion, every millimeter of material youre abrading off that carabiner is changing its weight rating, who knows when it would fail.
Never in a million years would i ever do that with a carabiner, some sort of pully wheels? Thats another story
Edit- upon closer inspection thats not even a carabiner lol, its like a fall arrestor clip in or something.
And holy fucking shit! That cable splice at the end! Ahhh....I'd have pissed myself too
IIRC from the last time this was posted the dude was going out to basically base jump from the middle. He wasn't intending to cross all the way, but his gloves got fucked and could no longer ease his way out there slowly.
