EddieE Posted July 31, 2001 Share Posted July 31, 2001 I got a chance to play around with these at Second Ascent yesterday, and they seem like a sweet set-up. Anyone using them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerg Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I've used them once. They are great when used with your ascencers. When used for aiding, be careful not to get the release loop tangled. http://www.cascadeclimbers.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000579.html Greg [This message has been edited by Gerg (edited 07-31-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerg Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 After using them some more this weekend, I've come to the conclusion that I don't really like the adjustable aiders that much for leading. They tend to get more tangled/snagged than standard aiders. Also, it requires an extra biner to be connected to the piece you are aiding on. If you put the wrong "foot" in first, it is difficult to get out. If you do get it out, the other biner pops down putting an uneccesary shock load on the system. A great idea at first, but the reality of the implementation leaves something to be desired. Like I said before, they are bitchin' for jugging, but my conclusion is that jugging is the only reason I will keep these aiders. Adjustable daisy is a similar design, so I would hazard a guess that it will probably have the same issues. I use a standard daisy so I can't comment to that end from first hand experience. greg [This message has been edited by Gerg (edited 08-09-2001).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
