In reply to UKC Gear:
That Giga Jul is intriguing. Looks a bit smaller, neater and more versatile than some of the other assisted braking devices. I haven't yet bought anything fancier than a guide mode device but perhaps it might be the device to convert me.
Nice to see challenging questions from whoever that was in the video. To be honest, I didn't like UKC's use of video for these show reports when it started a few years ago, but you are getting better at it each year. I still generally prefer text content but I can see some advantages to the videos now.
As ever, great to see Stevie Haston trying to be a salesman! I always watch one or two of Grivel's videos, even if I'm not interested in the products. What's the actual length of that sports lanyard? It looks a bit too short to me. I don't climb much sport so I normally just use a 60cm sling but occasionally it's a bit too short to clip from the convenient holds. If I was going to pay extra for a specific adjustable product, I think I'd want it to have the option of reaching a bit further.
