Failed installing ring and ring saver

[Wwallace52590]

so i tried to install my ring and ring from the ground for the first time the other day, and ended up giving up and just using my rope sleeve instead. i got it up in the tree where i wanted it but when i went to pull my rope thru it kept getting stuck. I was trying to pull the sliced end thru, and it was getting stuck on the small ring.

Should i have been trying to pull the non spliced side of my rope thru the large ring? I had it girth hitched to my throw line with a series of half hitches right up to the spliced eye. Or maybe i had the saver adjusted to large? the rings were almost touching when up in the tree.

If it's not strictly necessary, don't worry about installing one. I keep a retrievable on my harness most of the time so I can reposition my TIP when I need to, but it's pretty rare that I try to drag extra crap up the throwline. All the time it takes to fiddle about with all the extra bullshit, I could be aloft.
