No good belay devices yet? 13-Oct-2010 At 5:11:48 PM ..::- Chris -::..

Eddy ?? not sure on the spelling seems to be a safe beginer auto locker. They are compulsory for lead beley's at my local gym and take a little getting used to but you feed them like an ATC, you cannot hold them down like a gri gri and the handle used to lower from only works if your in control, i.e let go it re-locks or pull it too hard and it re-locks, it only lowers in the half position (handle pulled halfway back)

I thought when i first started using it that the device is much harder to feed without it autolocking, but with the right size rope and practise it's quite easy. I still use a gri gri basically becuase i own one and never had a problem with it, but the eddy does seem to be a "fool" proof autobeley device... ; )
