Now I feel like I have to buy a second one just to leave it in the un-opened box for another 20 years.
This is the Akimbo

I’ve been saying this since they opened! Ray and Kyle are great. I haven’t really dealt with the other guys yet. I have to be careful going in because I will spend hours talking to them. It’s just the way they are!

Personally I have run both. It’s nice but I went back to another mechanical for simplicity.

Which one?
X2! My brother lives about 4 or 5 miles from the shop. The last 2 times I have been to see him, I've spent over $300 each time and had to hold myself back. These are the kind of folks you want to support cause they work to support you.

I've never regretted purchasing from both GAP or Bartlett. Top notch folks at both places!

Once the akimbo has warmed up some, resting next to the fireplace...I’mma stick my carabiner right through that attachment hole. I won’t care who sees it happen; this thing stole my Christmas spirit lol

i think its going to come down to personal preference on this one. some will most certainly prefer the tried and true RR. just look at the diferences in opinion about the devices out there already. i doubt there will ever be a single climbing device that is perfect for everyone.

Oh here we go... I never did buy the runner. I run the rw+hitch, zz+rw and grigri. I need some time to finally feel satisfied. Already gave the news to my woman that a big deal is coming in the mail and I might need some time alone.

Jamie, congrats on a vision realized. I hope you are able to take a minute and enjoy it.

Totally cool device that's going to make me feel like this
at a minimum. Worth every penny for just this purpose alone.
If it helps me climb better and easier I'll consider that an extra side benefit.

I purchased my xstatic from Bartlett. Prompt delivery and promo code!! Haven’t used gap yet. I keep giving Treestuff benefit of the doubt, but ...

The approved list of Unicorn friendly ropes is very unsettling, especially being how none of my ropes are on either the 220 or 286 list. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to pick up a 150' hank of Fly, or some other approved rope, if I find that my HTP 7/16 ", Static Performance (Edelrid) 11mm, or my Samson Predator 11.4mm potentially causes slipage. Losing 30 lbs of unwanted fat might help, as well.
