For some reason, they're always exactly the right size. Can't explain it...

It's no wonder they've been around for 30+ years. Still the best.

Love it. The design seems to always keep my belay in the right place. Handles well. I have the autolock version... That gate action is SMOOOTH! Love it, love it, love it.

By far, the best way to cart around your gear, not only is your rack organized when you leave, but it's STILL organized when you get there! The tarp also keeps your gear out of the dirt, and gives you a place to sort after you've cleaned the route. The whole thing is made from top notch materials, so it's easy to work with, and built like a rock. I'd recommend it to anyone! Be safe, and happy climbing!!!

I love it! So light and compact, and easy to use. Never have and excuse to be without ascenders again! The only downside is no springs to make it grab the rope. But the pro's definately outweigh the cons.
