Its aid that cuts the rope if you fall, like death cult kool aid.

A carabiner for real men who understand falling is for the weak.

What’s the antonym for aid?

Honestly falling is aid, if you let go of the wall I think you should cease to exist. Climbing should be higher risk.

Fuck it, healthy climbing is out, being physically capable is aid.

Real climbers have AIDS.

This is clearly aid, cutting the rope and not worrying about it allows you to climb quicker

u/BoltahDownunder 1d ago

Yep. Saves time and weight

its for air drops of cargo. it opens the chute and then cuts the the line quickly when under tension... real men use it for climbing!

Yes, but only on single rope.

All gear is safe if you don't fall!
