Jul 11, 2025 My tests reveal both the Micro Traxion and the Spoc are not good with the Clepsydra small (both on the big side or small side of it). The clepsydra large is good with them (bot… View Message

Oct 15, 2023 Yea I kind of don't like the belaymaster in general. I tried to like it! The plastic tab can pop open and then you don't have the feature you wanted in the first place. Also it… View Message

Oct 13, 2023 Like the Edelrid Spoc? Get one perfect connector for it: the Grivel Clepsydra LARGE or the Petzl Bm’D. I will start using my Spoc a lot more!This to prevent what happened… View Message

Dec 22, 2021 I am sorry I am late to the party!! Very interesting discussion! Here is my take on it: I tried the Eddy without mod. I tried a few mods also. In my life, I came up (I mean mos… View Message

Dec 10, 2021 I agree. He has the reach to partly "fix" the situation he encouraged in the first place. Top rope solo with a Shunt and no efficient backup is a "semi-free-solo" but the climb… View Message

Oct 27, 2021 I did not either (this year). But I did in 2018. And after your accident, I wrote a BIG comment on Dave's Shunt video to try to inform people better. I know for a fact that Dav… View Message

Oct 27, 2021 Thanks for the insights! Some people use it to back the second climber in a simul-climbing scenario: https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=413749660117854&set=pcb.4137497267… View Message

Oct 16, 2021 Thanks Craig for sharing your experience. Just did an analysis of the simple setup used to TRS (Top Rope Solo) by Dave MacLeod. See the analysis here: https://docs.google.com/d… View Message

Oct 13, 2021 I tested ALL CONNECTORS with the Spoc. Joke but I tested many... Ended up finding 3 that work perfectly and prevent said problem: Metolius Gatekeeper, Grivel Clepsydra L (not S… View Message

Sep 23, 2021 Craig: I am sorry for you! Be sure that I will continue to praise against using the Shunt for TRS. Your case will help convincing people to use other devices that is for sure!!… View Message

Sep 23, 2020 I believe everyone has to choose what is acceptable for himself. A Silent Partner will not keep you safe. No device will. Only your attitude and skills will allow proper risk m… View Message

Feb 13, 2020 It could be the kong backup that jammed in the weird shape of the belay master carabiner... then it straightened out with more load. In that case it is due to the pairing of th… View Message

Jan 10, 2020 Hi Jim!! Thanks for your input :-) Why would ou not use it as a TR solo device? Would it be an ok device if someone uses a 10.5mm semi-static rope in our opinion? View Message

Mar 14, 2019 Ok so they are basically factor 0 falls. But cement dummy is much more harsh then a climber... That is good! Do you think the Revo could handle a factor 2 fall potentially gene… View Message
