It's good to see the GoFundMe guys getting and showing off their akimbo's first. Nice to see it go down the way it should have. Way to go Jaime and RE!

I'm guessing they all went out at the same time and the suppliers received theirs today or will shortly. Has anyone heard from Wesspur or any others?

What do you plan on tending this device with? I plan to try my dmm xrse carabiner. Is there a ring that fits perfectly into that tending point groove?

I have one of these Ceros captive carabiners sitting around from an incorrect special order.... Hoping it will find it's permanent home on my unicorn
It was supposed to be the wire gate captive style but they punched in the wrong part number and I got the threaded bar..
EDIT: (This will be used for my bridge not the tending point)

The tending point is intentionally small such that a full sized carabiner will not fit. Early on there was a lot of confusion over wether the tending point was usable as a mrs (or ddrt, or whatever) attachment point as well. It is not, and making it not fit a full size carabiner keeps people from making that mistake. With the wire gate clip you don’t even need a micro biner, you could use a small ring or even just a loop of cord.

That's very smart.
I was looking at my Hitch Hiker Holster today. I have a guy starting to climb. I have to make absolutely certain that he doesn't think the HHH is some space-age magic that is life-support rated when I get him to that point.

In case people want to do some reading to get ready.

I wonder why RE prohibits the use of a hand ascender with foot loops attached above the akimbo. You’d really have to try hard to have those interfere with the akimbo ...
