Mixed Feelings

By Ranked #54 - Big Wall Climbing February 12, 2009

I got a 0 and 00. I like having 4 lobes in such a narrow head, as well as Metolius quality. Ooutstanding fit and finish. I choose these smallest units over my black and blue Aliens. And they make a great complement to the smallest C3s. Beyond these sizes, however, I'll stick with TCUs and Aliens. The trigger mechanism is a bit over engineered and has too little slop. A bit more extra trigger cord would allow the lobes to function more independently, creating safer placements. And the cable to the trigger bar is poorly placed. It will kink when loaded over a sharp edge, at least in the blue and yellow sizes.
