Kind of expensive for what it is.Not sure I would want to take a big whopper on this. Even with bomber placement, not sure I trust it 100%. Maybe that’s just me needing to man up though.Adds a little bit of confidence to areas with long run out

It is hard to find a place to deploy this, but when you do, it is bomber. You can even stand on it like the rung of a ladder.

I've not personally placed this gear yet, but I love the expansion range, ease of use, and robust design. I also like that it is supporting Craig Lubben's family.

Great piece for adventure offwidth

It's difficult to find a placement for these. Either it's 100% bomber or it's 100% not. They often work when nothing else will and they have the added bonus of being used as a way to keep your rope from being sucked into a crack (if you place it and then run your rope over top of it). I have mixed views on these, but if you were to buy a couple, I'd get the larger ones that will go wider than the largest cams.

I've used these units on trad routes for a few years now, and I never feel confident in them. If placed right, they can be solid in exactly one direction, but often get out of position because they have no usefulness in anything but that one direction. My advice would be to spend the money on larger cams.

Meraviglioso
