IceIceBaby Posted June 3, 2002 Posted June 3, 2002 Is anyone had or have experience with TRE that is the first time that I see an automatic double rope belay device Quote
Dru Posted June 3, 2002 Posted June 3, 2002 No, the Salewa ANTZ is a double-rope, auto-locking belay/rappel device which has been available since 1993/1994 if not earlier. Quote
IceIceBaby Posted June 3, 2002 Author Posted June 3, 2002 Yeah, I know the ANTZ (I own one) But I was wondering since the TRE can do it on double-rope like Gri-Gri for signal rope [ 06-03-2002, 11:28 AM: Message edited by: IceIceBaby ] Quote
fishstick Posted June 3, 2002 Posted June 3, 2002 Yes. It's OK, but unlike plaquettes, gi-gi's and reversos, it fails to lock when seconding unless the rope is weighted. This eliminates multi-tasking ability when belaying seconds. It does however make lowering seconds possible without changing modes. Overall, when compared to the plauguettes and reversos, I see the tre as having no realistic advantages but the major shortcoming mentioned. GB Quote

Otherwise you would tape one of the levers over Quote
