I’ve done climbed at the gym including belay training, but am getting ready for my first outdoor climb, with someone else more experienced. After talking with some at the climbing store and watching videos including from Summit Seekers , my plan is:

• bowline off a bight around tree 1 using static rope, safety overhand from the free end of the bight around one side
• stopper knot (double overhand) on the loose end to make a tether through my grigri while working near the cliff edge
• bowline off another bight around tree 1, again overhand safety knot
• BHK (overhand in a bight in the center to form the master point, just past the cliff edge
• opposed quick draws off the BHK to connect the top rope to the BHK

Here’s the mockup in my living room:

The white rectangle is my cliff edge / the towel or bag I would put between the rope and the sharp edge.

I’ve seen opposing locking carabiners used off the master point instead of quick draws, though I see quick draws used off hardware anchors. Is it important?

Is it important how close/far the safety knot is from the bowline? I’ve used bowlines for years so I’m aware of how they can turn into slip knots if you’re not careful.

Any critique of the overall setup, individual knots, use of equipment etc very welcome!
