| Bells traverse. Took this little roof pitch to avoid snow/ice and it was the shortest way. I'd say about 5.7 but I was in hiking boots so who knows. | Rick Blair : Alpine Adventures | | Aug 25, 2011 |

| 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. | Rick Blair : Random Stuff | | Jul 15, 2010 |
