By Ranked #17 - Big Wall Climbing December 1, 2008

What a waste of space! I carried one for years as an emergency backup, and when the emergency came, it was a total dog! (I needed to climb >3,000 feet of rope to exit a cave) In the end, I patched my broken ascender with a bit of shoelace (totally sketchy) rather than use the darned tibloc. Its best use by far is to open beer bottles.
