CRITR Rappel Device

[ScottM]

The CRITR2 has been tweaked to run smoother on fatter ropes for smaller people
(while still excelling with big people on skinny ropes).
The friction 'sweet' spots are now a little wider and more rounded edges have reduced any need for 'break-in' of a new device.
Slightly lighter weight at 4.4 ounces
a bargain at $39.95

Hi Scott
The blue colored CRITR2's in about one week.
Thanks for asking!

[whansen]

Any updates on availability of your packs?

Todd, How far out are the BLUE v2?

I suggest to make a version with 2 slots and also a version in steel (instead of aluminum) that can be smaller and last 100x longer in Utah canyons.

Whansen, sorry that packs got delayed!
We are playing catch-up with CRITR2s and rope bags this week, then will resume pack production next week...
Lucach-
We are considering a steel version of the CRITR2 still, but even down-sized versions in CAD are yielding weights that are a lot heavier-
plus machining time will almost double...hard to justify on the 'best-bang-for-buck' scale.
Have been keeping an eye on the nice Edelrid steel carabiner- also lasts a lot longer (and works well with the CRITR2).
If folks begin to adopt the edelrid biner (heavier, more expensive, but wears longer) then maybe that is an indication that a steel CRITR2 might sell.

I have never used the two slots on the ATS, how do you use them?
Best, Todd

I know if there was a steel version available it would NOT be in my gear purchase list. They are $40 and last for plenty of canyons. It is a wear/disposable item. Not meant to be a lifelong purchase. Maybe I've just done too many other hobbies, but canyoneering is by far the cheapest sport I've every engaged in. I can break more stuff on my buggy in one weekend than my entire canyon gear set costs.
