Black Diamond Stoppers

Stoppers are stoppers.

By Backcountry.com Employee June 11, 2007

Lets be honest: when it comes to protecting a fall, an aluminum wedge is the same, no real matter who stamps their name on it. The real challenge is in knowing how to place these so that they work right. So, practice your placements before you go out and start leading. My bottom line: if you can place them well, stoppers are the best removable protection around!
