What more can you say? By far the best belay device out there for single pitch sport climb, and with the new updates, it makes this device even better. Now accommodates wider range of rope sizes and feeds the rope for a lead belay a little smoother than the older one. This is a must have, so get one ! 

Love this carabiner. Light, and large enough to accomodate a double clove or munter from my 9.9 rope. I like the red marker you can quickly tell if it is unlocked. 

If i could only bring one device on a climb, i choose this one for sure! Double rope rappel, guide mode, assisted braking and more in one single relatively light package. 

It does everything a guide tube style device would do and performs just as good. Use it in assisted braking, and you have an extra level of security when belaying a leader. The one thing i will point out, is make sure you test this device before using it. It is very picky on what carabiner you are using and some carabiner, for example the petzl attache, let's the rope slip all the way through in assisted braking. 

When belaying in assisted braking mode, i feed slack like any other tube style device. When i need to feed alot of rope, it is very easy to slip your thumb in the release hook even with gloves. 

when rappeling in assisted braking, i would still use a third hand backup because it does have a tendency to let the rope slip when fully weighting it. For rappel, i prefer using this in manual mode just like any other tube style device. 

Keep in mind this is NOT a grigri. Like any other device, good belaying technique is required. But in the event that the belayer would let go of the break strand, the device will assist in holding the fall but it is not as solid as the grigri. 
 

I bought this harness to replace an old Petzl Corax. What a difference ! This harness is light, very comfortable simple to use and packable. I like the gear loops. They are rigid and it keeps you're gear whell organized. 

I do wish i had bough the guide version tough. I would like to have ice clippers on the sides and a rear gear loop. Nonetheless this is a great harness for someone who likes a simple and packable harness for outdoor and indoor rock climbing. 

I've chosen the women's version because it fits me alot better. I would suggest trying it if you have large quads and a small waist this one is a great fit.
