Used with my Metolius Personal Anchor

I use this with my Metolius Personal Anchor (great piece of gear). This biner has a great solid feel (the kind that makes you trust your life with it). I got the screw-lock (one of the best in the market in my opinion) for extra safety margin the red strip provides. "Red, your dead."

I like the William ball lock with the Metolius Personal Anchor System and it works fantastic. Extra room for clipping with a wider gate opening, and no need to spin your biner closed when hanging on a sketchy crimp, run out at the top of a pitch. P.S. For all you passersby, trail ninja is correct. The PAS is designed to hitch to your harness via the black end. This end is not another sewn loop and using it would create a rather large jump between the first and second loops; Hence defeating the point of the customizable length of this or any other anchor.
