Yet no falls taken
Review by: tichy, 2007-09-11
Nor I'm planning to, however I do like the design and I do find them extremely quick to place on very thin crags or crags on any overhaning bit or roof. Speciality piece perhaps but sometimes where choise is no protection or very bad nut placements, I do favor these. They may be bit harder to remove once weighted but I have no experience yet on that aspect.
Overall, they could be slightly cheaper but they do perform very well.

Reasonable value for the money
Review by: tichy, 2007-09-11
First set of nuts I ever bought and to be honest, I would not buy them again. Even tough I no longer own them, can still easily pick right size for the job. They did work quite all right on Limestone but my later experience on granite was not quite as good.
Very first thing to do is to cut away the color coded rubber frm the loop. That alone would improve the perfomance to 4. That is really, really annoying.

Best money can buy
Review by: tichy, 2007-09-11
Together with straight gate Spirits these are the best carabiners money can buy. Not only being wonderful design yet simple but also outliving any other carabiners on my rack. No gate failures nor loss of snap after may years of use.

Good pair

Very good lines for the price. Slightly heavy in comparison with my old double lines but also much more durable. Using lines on rock, ice and alpine. Would gladly replace with same lines when time comes.

Excellent tent.

Having the older model with better (read bigger) vestibule. Excellent tent. It has been home in extremely rough weather over the years.
