Quick Goole search came up with this picture showing a blown out Screamer and the partially cut sling it was attached to. The sling was around a horn. Seem pretty like ly the screamer kept the piece from failing.

I have used them quite a bit and was just thinking how I needed to buy new ones. Only once has one I used actually been activated. The early models used a series of bar tacks that would be pulled apart. (Actually Forrest developed an expensive limiter before the bar tack scheme was developed but it was not extensively used) These had a reputation of causing a vibration that caused the gate to flutter open and shut. While open the 'biner is dramatically weaker. The Yates limiter uses vertical seems which are pulled apart. This method reduces or eliminates the gate flutter. Do they work? Yes. I once witnessed a 75' fall being caught on a #2 RP. The limiter was one of the old bar tack models and it sounded like a burst of machine gun fire as the bar tacks flew apart. Had the RP pulled the guy would have smashed into a ledge. After seeing that I became convinced of their practical utility. If you worry about gate flutter use a locking carabiner. PP

Nice poem Dwayner but keep it in spray! PP

I lived just south of the Oregon border in the late 70's early 80's and loved the bouldering. Only down side is the rock in that area can be a bit crumbly. Do you have any pics? Bouldering on the beach is an easy way to sneak climbing in to a family vacation. By the way there are some awesome cracks along the coast not many but there are some. I remember aiding up to a RURP once that just fell apart it was solid rust. PP
