With the reverso if you are belaying up two followers on doubles than you want to spin the reverso around and set it up off the anchor in 'reverso' mode. That way it is self locking and you do not need to worry about the 40 lbs stopping force.
The reverso can also be thread on the harness 'backward' so that there is greater breaking force.
I like the reverso a lot, and I climb on doubles. Although I've not found the need to rap on a single 9 yet.

I really like the metolius TCU's, but I haven't tried the aliens.
The big advantage of an alien/tcu is that they are not as fat as camalot/friends (3 cams vs 4). So with a skinny cam you can set it in a narrow crack or pin scar that a bigger cam will stick out of.
Really you'll need some of both eventually tho.
Also some pink and red tricams cuz they
Military skool sux.
If he's anything like I was at 14... Well I wouldn't want to frighten you...
I think the best deal for a rebellious teen is to get him into the mountains. NOLS, Nantahala, etc. worked for me and got me off the crack. Thanks mom and dad.
