Yeah but its useless to try and discuss use cases and advantages/disadvantages. You just have to try.

Super cool man! Impressed, got my wheels turning seeing what you came up with. If people cant figure the out speed + weight + fewer slings needed advantages its their loss really lol obviously not a finished product but im interested to see where the idea goes and who it inspires

Why not simply add some sort of fixed piece of protection to the rock, have the sling/draw already hanging from that, and all you need to do is clip your rope to it! No need to carry ANY gear!!!

You can even add chalk to the holds ahead of time, so that you know where they are and so you don't have to carry any chalk either!

Magnets in the mountains really suck unless designed to avoid picking up rocks... my petzl helmet buckle is always filled with crap and seems to be a problem more than a benefit.

This is a ridiculous design flaw and not safe. Multiple times my helmet has unlatched mid climb because of the debris in between the magnets.

PETZL - Please fix this and send me a better buckle.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
