Apparently cordalettes aren't as common overseas as (they seem to be) here, which might explain the introduction of the web-o-lette as a "why didn't I think of that?" piece of gear. (In particular, a guy I met in the UK told me that "most UK climbers don't need stuff like that.")
But then, he was a total arsehat. So I willingly concede that he could have been wrong. |
