I'm a little confused by all this commentary saying that these devices are complex. Crazy

They take 10seconds to setup and another 2s to check if they are operating as intended. They are certainly not more complex or anymore likely to cause complacency than conventional tube devices.

Oh and tube devices cause complacency we should all go back to the hip belay. Wink

The notion that they are attracting the wrong audience and should be for guides is false and only inspired by the misnomer of the Black Diamond naming.
