..and firmly clasping a cookie! Lovely picture :)

Oy...!

Fair enough, coming as I do from climbing instruction where auto locks were standard, it was drummed into us in College about, check, double check, triple check, use your ears and your eyes to ensure what is supposed to be closed, IS closed. Remember my post when I had a triple lock biner roll...

Yes I get what you are saying Burnham, no problem, healthy conversation! I just have an issue regardless, because it is an attachment device that we would be looking at opening and closing several times during a climb. Isn't that why we don't use devices that don't have an AUTO locking feature...

Yes, but that shackle isn't going to be tightened down one time for the climb, they are looking at opening and closing it as we do with the carabiner. I have my slightly sceptical one eyebrow a wee bit raised for safety implications.

I thought life support items (biners) had to be double/triple action AUTO locking, that is when you let it go from the open position it closes by itself. I don't think that shackle would pass muster in the UK? What say you Brit brothers?
