People call 'em "tubers". Click here for information on the Trango Pyramid. The one I used seemed to give a herky jerky rappel, no matter which way I oriented it. I'll stick with my BD ATC for fat ropes and my Trango Jaws for skinny ropes. Quote

JoshK Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 reverso owns. I use my ATC if I need to be lighter however. Quote
Fejas Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I have a SBG II that I hate... well it is alright for belay, but the worst thing I ever used for rappin'... My other wepons include ATC's and a super 8 Quote
erik Posted April 15, 2003 Author Posted April 15, 2003 reason i got a new belay device. 1. i dont like to use my reverso for crag climbing. 2. i ruined my other atc taking a ground fall from the ground unto more ground.(had to be there!) and i am fat so i need extra friction! Quote

erik Posted April 15, 2003 Author Posted April 15, 2003 i already have one!! a gri gri that is! Quote
JoshK Posted April 15, 2003 Posted April 15, 2003 I rap with by simply running the rope around my dick a few times. The faster I the rope goes, the larger it gets, thus nicely limiting overall rap speed. Works great, you should try it. Quote
