I like the color in a blizzard, and also the curved back part of the T. I think it holds better when conditions get slushy.

Good for a haul pulley

DMM Revolver Locking Carabiner

DMM Revolver Locking Carabiner

Rating for this product: 4 May 4, 2009

I use this as a haul pulley in a Z-Rig for light & fast mountain climbing. When it's just me and a bud, they're fast & quick. Funky shape makes kind of useless as a replacement in all situations.
