And it's a double axle unit. That's why the range is so big.

Kolin Powick (BD's climbing director) told me that they (#7 and #8) actually are in stock and that it's a matter of their website being updated.

I thought Alex Honnold’s signature green spatula was a better one. But this is cool, too.

Haha this is amazing. BD with another solid annual contribution   

I kind of sincerely love that perhaps one of the more meta interpretations of the joke is that this is a proven viable product in small batches:

Gotta love the hundred or so nutters out there that are clamoring for megawide clean pro. Shine on, you crazy diamonds.

It's like Fish noted about Portaledges. 500 actually get sold, 50 actually get used. LOL gotta go with the dream. Here's the 7 and 8 thread: https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/118718115/bd-7-and-8

I want one! But at $2,121.21 it's a bit...steep.

Rats! They're already sold out. :(

The fake reviews are hilarious:

"Got into climbing for the chicks. Clipped one of these bad boys on my belt and Now I’m swimming in p^%#^sy. Thanks Black Diamond."

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
