One click won’t fully release the side plate, two clicks will and then you still have to fully rotate open to release the rope.
This is the Akimbo

Plus a small rotation after the first click so it's a quad-action release. It's not perfect but a step in the right direction. Better to put it out there and get the ball rolling.

My bet would be a scalper who knows that there is more demand than supply for the Akimbo. I would not be surprised to see them end up on ebay.

Sherrill emailed to re-confirm my payment method today. They got a shipment, and sent my info to their warehouse today. I daresay they're likely to have arrived pretty much everywhere.

Hey, danimal! I was just wondering if having that really stout clevis as a tending point allows you to attach an over the shoulder tending strap that will allow you to sit back against it in order to take a rest, if needed? Or would it somehow collapse the Akimbo and cause an uncontrolled descent? Having a strong enough tending point that I can lean back against without worry would be a big issue for me. Thanks in advance for any answer you can provide.

My Unicorn has landed

It's only a 5 min drive away from me.
Too bad I can't go to UPS to get it right now.

I personally detach from the tending shackle while pausing my ascents because of my chest harness and the tending point- it’s just not comfortable. I have heard of and incident where someone did stay clipped in and had a two foot “heart attack” uncontrolled drop but I think something else was in play, due to the fact you really have to pull down on the top of the Akimbo to break friction. I still don’t recommend staying clipped in when you aren’t on ascent.

Found this on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Akimbo-Fee...h=item215051fd45:g:62cAAOSwA3xcMbK-:rk:1:pf:0 Some British punk band? The B side is called "We'll Keep Climbing"

They only let me pick stuff up when I miss a delivery attempt.
They just scanned it in around 15min ago so it probably still has to go through sorting.
If it was scanned in earlier I would have been there kicking down the door yelling "Give Me My Precious" like a raving maniac.

Initial thoughts.
Damn it’s small!
It’s going to take a bit to get use to loading rope.
There is a fair amount of slop on the bollards, I’d expect higher tolerances.

Quite a contrast in color next to your loofah, kind of wish I never saw it
Are you having a hard time reaching the regular size toilet?
