Bit off topic here, but what the hell - The one use for a fig-8 I've heard is from a certified member of the chin-tugging brigade who informs me that when your rope is iced up beyond belief and won't fit through your belay device, a fig-8 does the job just nicely. Turns a potential epic into a happy day of mountaineering. Having never experienced iced-up ropes, I was wondering what others thoughts are. Any alternatives? Not a fan of an 8, wouldn't want to take it into the mountains or anywhere else if I could avoid it. Kyle
