Do you ever find the whole &quot;gate opening due to rubbing on the rock&quot; a problem? I have some Moses and Xenon Lites already and like them both otherwise. Moses weighs the least, Xenon the most... question_126683 Sun, 13 Sep 2009 20:35:53 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Wild-Country-VC-Pro-2-Belay-Device/WDC0011M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_125849#question_125849 Wild Country VC Pro 2 Belay Device<br /><br />Hi, tech specs says it is a 7-9mm diameter rope, but when trying to add to basket it says 8-11mm rope diameter.

DMMs website (http://www.dmmclimbing.com/products.asp?pid=3) states the &#39;locksafe&#39; gates are colored green and have a 3-step release. The &#39;quicklocks&#39; are colored red and have a 2-step release.<br /><br />If you look at the pictures themselves you can see (on one side) that the green colored gates have and three stage release and are the actual DMM locksafe gate. However, in the images they are labeled as the quicksafe.<br /><br />So, my question is, if I want the the 3-step release gate (the actual &#39;locksafe&#39; according to DMM) which one do I order; the one that is labeled locksafe or the one that has a picture of the locksafe.<br /><br />Another way to ask this is, did backcountry mix up the images or did they mix up the names?<br /><br />Thanks for your help. question_110940 Thu, 28 May 2009 16:44:21 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/DMM-Belay-Master-Clip/DMM0036M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_107168#question_107168 DMM Belay Master Clip<br /><br />will it work on a petzl attache locking biner question_107168 Tue, 12 May 2009 07:03:38 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/outdoorgear/Black-Diamond-Quicksilver-Quickpack-Quickdraws/BLD0848M.html?CMP_ID=QRSS_106967#question_106967 Black Diamond Quicksilver Quickpack Quickdraws<br /><br />What is the most important gear I could buy to start building up my climbing gear? Like carabiners, rope etc. I know about harnesses and heltments, but all the different types of rope and locking things confuse me. Or if there is a website that can educate me much thanks! question_106967 Mon, 11 May 2009 11:13:53 GMT
