No, it's not.

Considering how many fatalities have occurred when people have rapped off the ends of their rope and lowered people off the ends of their rope, I would venture to say that there are a lot more useless pieces of equipment out there.
That said, I won't be putting these on my ropes because I'm very conscientious when it comes to my ropes' ends. |

| Wouldn't this make tying in a royal PITA? And having metal hanging off your knot while climbing.
If you took these on/off between climbing and rapping, it would be easier to tie a knot...like thousands of competent and living climbers these days. |

| 1. if yr worried about the end of the rope when belaying, tie an effing knot in it, or keep it knotted to yr rope bag/tarp
2. just tie a knot on rap where youre worried
3. if yr worried about knots getting stuck by wind, trees, etc ... just saddlebag the rope and knot the rope then
its that simple ... no need to spend 20 smackaroos ...
and honestly if you need stuff like this or those $$$$ "pre-tied" prussics, etc ... theres something really wrong ... |

The Frog is a lot more useful than the ATC sport. There've definitely been times where, if I tried to clip from the clipping jug, I'd either be reaching way too far (I'm 6'1"), or clipping at my ankles. The Frog is purpose built for onsights where you don't know if the bolts were well placed or not. |

| Above all, the Endeez Rope End-icators need an allen key (AFAIK when looking at the pictures ) to fix it to the end of the rope !! |

| This thread is awesome!!
With regards to the Endeez, still trying to figure out WTF this means:
"Use the Endeez as back-up knots when you're rappelling and belaying"
Ummm what? |

| Skinny rope bags... had enough of trying to stuff rope back in there after climbing, so these days I just flake the rope directly into a top loading pack, and feed it straight out of there next time around. |

It just seems strange to say that they're backup knots. Obviously you can tie a backup knot with our without this nifty little gadget.
Is the idea that they're large enough to get caught when they come around the bend in the rope in the belay device? Or is it more of just a visual identifier of the rope end??
I dunno, maybe I'm missing something but seems quite strange to me. |
