![]() I felt very comfortable using the device in this way. This I am guessing creates a pinch between the bottom of the holes in the device and the carabiner, adding friction to the system. My only guess at why this might be is that because I am pulling on the carabiner that is applying the friction because it is attached to me with my extension. I also felt that configuration 2 actually gave me more friction than configuration 1. I didn’t really have a concern with the device getting away from me because as the device gets away, if you put any tension on the rope it’ll come back to you. I rapped on it today with an extension and a third hand in configuration 2. Thanks for all the comments and feedback everyone. This is a more common scenario than you might think and I’ve dropped one or two and almost dropped countless carabiners because of it. I haven’t noticed more or less friction between the two setups with the same device.Įdit to add: the thing you do have to watch is dropping the breaking carabiner if you ever rap off the ends of your ropes as it’s held in place solely by the ropes. ![]() One thing I’ve found is that it tends to twist the ropes a bit more for some reason. A lot of folks do this with atc guide/reverso style devices too for this reason. I’ve rapped a ton with the camp version and the main benefit is that your device is attached to you the entire time during the rigging and unrigging regardless of how many raps you’re doing. And expect far less friction than a plaquette, so take your time first few rappels.super smooth, especially with a fat rope.you’ll dig it! Second photo, too, you’ll eventually drop the device when you go off rappel, as it’s not connected to you.
