I'm in love...

I'm a climber and I live by the tube-style belay device. A friend introduced me to the Pirana for Canyoneering and there is absolutely no way I would ever go back to a tube for canyons. No matter what rope we're using, from super stiff, static 8mm to totally dynamic 11mm, single or double strand, I have tons of options for friction - low friction for dry descents, add a little when things are wet, lock off during the descent with a quick flick of the wrist (quick mule-knot if I'm going to sit / do something for a while), etc. So many options, so easy to use...
