Need to replace an inexpensive karabiner periodically though. But, But, But...here is what I'd like to try one of these days in a canyon .....Big Bucks though for the Ti!

That Scarab does look cool. Guess could always go with the steel for $100 less and be stronger. Well, that's what I try to tell myself when I have to carry heavy stuff...

I have typically always used an ATC-XP. I have one son who swears by the Piranha. I have another son who prefers the standard figure 8. We have each tried each others, and conclude that we are happy with our orignal choices. To each his own....
Why can't you reply with quote and have the picture come along? Anyways did anyone see the ATS device at the outdoor show? Has anyone got one yet? Looks cool.Quote:

Oops, it has their name right on it, didn't notice it the first time.:facepalm:
Yes, and the name is intended as a pun, for those in the know.Quote:
