Reed Thorne of Ropes That Rescue designed this connector to perform
as a quick, one-handed attachment to a structure for maximum safety
when placing belay protection. It provides quick connections to towers
and other structures when protecting an ascent using a lead-climbing
technique. The custom-designed aluminum ring reduces weight and
provides a wide, smooth-bearing surface for the rope. The 1-in. (25 mm)
web has red wear indicators for easy inspection. The double-locking
carabiner gate can be opened with one hand. Exceeds OSHA minimum
strength requirement of 22.2 kN (5,000 lbf.) for anchorage connectors.
