I love the orange metolius pack! They turn out great in pictures, don't they? Been beating the crap out of mine since 5 years ago in canyons and it's STILL going strong. :P
Sounds like you had a good time! Sure looks like you did anyway :P

I am still working thru some of the configurations - specificaly the ones that give me the most friction/control on free hangs. There is one realy nice feature of the Totem that I like and that is the ability to get extra control/stopping ability with a slight squeeze with the non brake hand around the rope and totem.

It was my first try at the totem myself. Thanks to Rich passing it of to Amie so I could pick it up in time in Escalante. I used the same rigging as Doug shows in the photo i took. I found, like all the other belay deivces on a repel of that length, it did get hot. The one advatage was the decent control I had with the right hand by just lightly squeezing the rope agaisnt the totem. I could stop and hang with ease.
