the loop of cord is there so if the cam walks and the trigger bar is beyond reach you can just easily pull the loop of cord and get your cam back

Posts like this make me feel old.

Please stop posting up stuff that I grew up with and considered normal as weird relic trivia.

My apologies. I bought a set of these rigid stems from an "experienced" climber. but this was the only one that had this setup on it. I was curious why it was the only one that was rigged this way. Seems like it may be more useful on the bigger sizes?

Actually, it's more useful on the smaller sizes since you can get your whole hand in the crack to retrieve the cam on bigger sizes.

Glad I asked! I may re-rig them this way.
