  1. I'll try and get a better pic, but the upper of the two safety flaps could get bent if caught under/inside a connector like the quickie and then loaded with body weight. Of course if its set correctly then its fine.
  2. But you need to careful using other connectors as there is a slight chance of capturing the upper flap. This picture was done on purpose to show what I mean....
  3. Then i aas going to mention earlier about using it choked on a stem. It works great. Using a pulley to capture the tail end of rope is good.
  4. I have a bit of OCD so I like to use same manufacturer/colour karabiners with each device. These ISC black ones do work well with it.
  5. One thing I like about the ISC swivel is that it fits two Karabiners. Just a tidy place to keep a second Karabiner for MRS when you need it.

  7. This was discussed in 2010............
  8. You're making me feel old!
  9. Another good point in the video, and true from my experience now, the two attachment holes for MRT differ in that one (the closest ) gives optimum slavk tending efficiency, while the second hole is not do good. So, those earlier saying the ZZ just swallows any slack that is intentionally put into their system, this does solve that issue.
  10. Thanks, I think!
  11. Yeah,it's fiddly though.
  12. Sorbus has stock I think? I think you have to remove the rope from the bottom part, but not necessarily all of the links, and that will give enough space to remove the swivel. Not possible with rope fully in there. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
  13. The RRP has more of a flat plate that pushes against the rope doesn't it? Similar idea though, the more weight the more pressure.
  14. Are you climbing again then Steve?
