Putting Beal Escaper to the Test

Did some testing with my Beal Escaper on my recent climbing trip to Red Rocks. My goal was to specifically on full rope length rappels that don't have a direct pull on the device. I feel that this device is very underrated mainly due to fear that the device won't function as intended, but I've never heard of any cases of the device failing. In certain situations, the escaper could replace a tag line saving you some weight. While I do feel that the escaper has its pitfalls I also feel that these pitfalls can be avoided and are mainly situational. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the comments section or shoot me an email at [email protected].
