Dow WilliamsNever...

Voted 2/5

had one deteriorate this quick...the price of getting them light no doubt...but I just bought this belay/rappel locker earlier this year....I do bring a lot of folks up on 2nd with double ropes with a Black Diamond Guide...but of course most of this wear is the heat generated on doubles during rappel....as much of a weight freak as I am, I will stick with a more substantial personal locker. I don't recommend this biner for the full time climber. The grooves are actually deeper than they look in this photo.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
