sobo Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 "...Step Two: Thread the 1/2 " static rope through the mechanism..." "...without the bulky and complicated equipment of the past...", yet it weighs 1.2 pounds? Why is static rope specifically stated? Is it not rated for dynamic rope applications? It appears that other rope size versions are available, but what good would this thing be to most climbers, other than wall-haulers? Seems very, very heavy and extremely limited in its application for climbers. Quote
Squid Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 Hey, Scott- this lure works better than I expected. Look at the size of this one! Quote
sobo Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 "...ORDER YOURS TODAY! Only $179.95 + S&H..." WTF??? Yeah, right! What a POS. Hell, three or four biners would be a better deal. Just go get a Reverso or an ATC-XP. Quote
ScottP Posted March 17, 2005 Author Posted March 17, 2005 I was wondering if they have actually had real "mountain climbers" use the thing. I especially liked the 1.2 lb "lightweight" feature. Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I was wondering if they have actually had real "mountain climbers" use the thing. I especially liked the 1.2 lb "lightweight" feature. Yes they did, it can be seen in the photo below: Quote
ScottP Posted March 18, 2005 Author Posted March 18, 2005 I saw that photo and thought "Sport Rappeller", but on further viewing...yes...I... believe I can see the mountain climber in there somewhere. Quote
Ade Posted March 18, 2005 Posted March 18, 2005 It weights over a pound. Why do I even care it exists? Quote
