Silent Partner: WANT TO BUY

That same one, also way off on the asking price
but hey, is for horses & goats...

if you got that sort of cash send some Brandon's way

and ask him for a belay when he's wrung dry...


but I saw it so here is the Mnt.reject posting

If you are particularly interested in what I use, it is the Silent Partner. However now that the Revo from Wild Country is out, I plan to give this a little test, although it must be noted that this piece of equipment isn't specifically designed for that purpose).

I tried an early prototype of the Revo for rope soloing. It was mostly positive; the device fed the rope through more smoothly than the Silent Partner and the whole unit felt less bulky and weighty, making it more pleasant to climb with. A slight downside from a safety point of view is that the Revo only has one attachment point to the harness, whereas the Silent Partner has two. I've taken some falls on the Revo and it held and locked in good time of course. However, I have yet to take a 'monster lob' (think stripping an aid pitch and factor two falling back on to the belay) on the Revo, so how it would hold up in a huge fall I can't comment.
