This is a novel auto blocking belay device. I think it works quite well, depending on rope thickness and sheath quality, it belays very smooth. Great to lower with. You gotta love over engineering. $3 at a gear swap!

Start of route. This shows what we did with a 30M rope. That belay is 100 feet, a 60M would get you to a large ledge up twice as high. You can see a little wet spot by Ken, this was right after a downpour. Does this look 4th class to you?  Raptor on S. Dino Egg eating something.
