Climbing Technologies lanyard adjuster

[Shawn]

I like checking out their website, since I use alot of their gear. Found this today while surfin around.

Im pretty intrigued by it, looks about half the size of the trango cinch, cant find much on it yet though.

I like CTI gear, best aluminum snaps available.

Interesting adjuster. Wonder what it's all about.

Blinky- which of their snaps is the one you like: http://www.climbingtechnology.it/en-US/double_gate_connectors.html

I notice a lot of simlarities with their designs and DMM/ISC...

Nick, The Shelter, most of mine are EVOs. They need to be used with a thimble in my opinion.

I'm slowly being persuaded to go with biners instead of snaps on my lanyard... just as soon as the CTIs wear out.

Shawn you work at knot and rope or are at least tight with John. You think that you could convince him into ordering us a few of those bad a$$ looking adjusters.

The sparrow looks pretty sharp, too...

That's cool, yea, we will put them on the PO we got going in next week.

I like their gear. It looks like they buy old Petzl patents then try to improve on them. I'll have to go to the old neighborhood and ask one of the bosses to send for a container.

why did they copy the original Cinch and even didn't bother to find an original name for it instead of The Finch.

I prefer the original every time.

p.s. just like kong this is an italian company, hope they have better gear....and don't use the same dodgy fabrication connections.

The funny thing is this is an updated version of the Finch... the original version on CT's website looked (and presumably operated) EXACTLY like the Cinch...

I can't find a pic of it anymore, unfortunately. They must have gotten heat for it

Having talked to other European manufacturers CT seems to be pretty well respected, though. I wouldn't read too much into it.
