That used to have a fixed tube. Some tassie boys pinched it and left it in Pipeline AKA "Fantini's" offwidth in Tassie. Good luck getting it back! :)

About big bros. I guess if you invest alot of time into it you can learn to place them one handed which I think is really the only way they can be considered useful. However there is no room for error really. I think they or they are the pro that is most liable to getting stuck enough in place that you cant reseat them but the placement wouldn't hold a fall. They cost roughly the same as a cam of the same size and the weight is really negligible for that style of climbing. Once the 6 is in the crack and shuffling it weighs nothing. I never saw one used on El Cap, etc. Thats my current belief but I never invested the time to master them. I would be interested to see you use these in action Goshen!
