My 10 year old daughter has just started leading but finds it hard to put rope through krab gate with one hand.Generally has to use two hands. I know as she gets more practice she will get better but her small hands dont seem to be able to manage normal krabs. Does anyone know of small krabs that might be easier for her to use?

In reply to chopkins1969: No idea how she does it at the minute, but it might be easier with small hands to pinch the rope in index finger and thumb, and middle finger in the krab where the rope normally sits, which holds the draw still. Then rotate wrist to pust the rope through the gate. It might work better than her trying to hold the back of the krab whilst she clips the rope like most of us do.

Failing that, DMM phantoms, or maybe the WC Xenon lite (they're a fair bit cheaper and only a tiny bit bigger)

Phantoms are pretty small, so small that i can't stand using the things.
