I'd imagine because worth a 200kg load the device would work much better with additional friction, but a 70-80kg climber would be fine without. 

 

Almost like they've thought about it.

Then where’s that video then?

What are you objecting about?

[AHPP]

That there are ten fanny Instagram videos about it where everyone is all like ‘sick send bro’ and looking sexy in a sexy tree canopy and not a single one where it just goes straight to the USP. 
 

Not an objection per se. Just ongoing frustration at the world revolving around style before substance.

I share your frustrations Alex, really I do.

 

Any device might need additional friction added for emergency descent with a casualty, depending on the load. It doesn't specifically have to be with the use of an approved device like the wrench.

 

From what I've seen it looks jerky under decent with a casualty.

Who cares about the ‘aerial rescue aspect’ of a device ffs?

That’s what a fig 8 is for.

 

Hopefully this will work really, really well on it’s own without a wrench for the 95% of climbers who weigh less than 100kg.

As an aside, clothes, harness, lanyard, clink, saw(s), spikes etc weigh a surprising amount.

Sounds like you've been on the scales fully kitted out?

[AHPP]

I don't have any scales. Don't attack me with your conventional beauty standards.

[AHPP]

Nah. I just picked up my climbing kit bag once, realised it was heavy and realised I wore pretty much all of it.

[Mark Bolam]

The rope doesn’t count.

Idiot.
