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.
