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....

Yes, and the name is intended as a pun, for those in the know.Originally Posted by Pelon1

Would really like to try a Pirana; been finding it very difficult to hit the friction "sweet spot" on an ATC-XP on the CanyonFire, and I can see me becoming a convert if it solves that problem.
Maybe I'll borrow Zoe's and nip out to the local chalk quarry (See Sarah, see Sarah rap into the forest of pungent buddleia and elder trees, see Sarah swear, swear Sarah, swear) and see how I get on with it.
There is also Sterling Ropes new rap device, the "ATS"
Oh I like the nice big horns on the top. Might have to give this one a go next year. I'm going to turn into a hardware junky like Ice I fear.
Techno Viking is my hero.
I found the info on Sterling Ropes Facebook page. Its going to debut at Sterlings booth at the Outdoor Retailers show in Salt Lake next week, (Aug 3-6) and will be available retail through Sterling and Alpine Training Services following the show.
Cool - never been to their page. It looks like a Pirana in use. And I discover at the same time that there's now a 5.9 route all the way to the top of The Chief, in Squamish. Going to have to get back into climbing again...
Call me Kev!
Wanna see some photos?
Munters are great for a quick "wet disconnect" as well, and they twist a rope about as much as a piranah. ATC's work great and my choice; easy to tie off (haven't yet had a reason to tie off while doing a canyon), easy to add friction on the fly (pull harder on the brake hand), light, inexpensive and long lasting. 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!

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=moab mark;411399]Looks pretty good. I'll be checking it out in a few canyons over the next couple of days.

Alright so back on the original subject (but not as cool as the Anime 'blue' video), I did pick up an ATC-XP at a local shop today. Might get to play with it tomorrow.
Does anyone know where to buy one yet?
When they become available, I am thinking I will have them as soon as anybody else.
