• The best bit of info I learned from that site was of the joys of the sprung sticht which I now use for all belaying and abseils.
    When we went to Yosemite our guide hadn’t seen one in years so he dug his out and had a blast using it all week and showing me a few nifty features.

    They come up all the time on eBay if anyone wants to give one a whirl.

    Pretty sure mines a trango but seen same pattern by multiple brands
