Well it was spammed all over MP a week or two back, the general feeling on this thread https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/113698755/the-firefly-by-dcmountaineering-quickdraw-retrieval-device was no thank you. |

as much as i want to rip on the guy for leaving an entire quick draw, not thinking to just grab a stick and some tape to stick clip up the rest of the route, etc - i have to hand it to him - he came up with a fairly slick little device. i am actually pretty impressed with the simplicity of it. |
