yakimuchacho Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 How strong is a blue alien? I know folks use the blues and blacks for aid a lot, but will a blue Alien hold a whipper in solid rock? I love the green, red, and yellow.

texplorer Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I believe that they are supposed to have the same strength as the red and yellow. You just have to make sure that the lobes are set correctly as there is less of a camming range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glacier Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I've taken falls onto a blue with no problem (as have several friends of mine). Like Tex said, correct placement will be your primary concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurthicks Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 i think they're good to 8kn, but it's all placement. I had a friend pull a blue one this summer and almost deck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
