Mal You think that's useless, you should try the alpine equalizer. . .  Ouch!  Unfortunately I have to agree with Shoo. I got the smaller one as a gift and used it once, maybe twice. Been sitting in the "unused" corner of the gear bag ever since.  Ouch is right! I dunno though... I kinda like it for the local TR area. Sling 3 trees, clip the AE and huck it over the edge (usually with the Omega D lockers mentioned above at the PP). The auto-adjusting makes it easy to just flip it over/around something to get on another route without re-rigging, which is nice given how short the cliff is.
My apologies to Mal and the crew at Trango. That one came out a lot snarkier than I intended.
Mal puts together some pretty sweet gear, some of which has become staples on my harness for pure awesomeness (I would name them, but that's another thread). While I don't personally have any use for the alpine equalizer, I could see applications for which it might be a reasonable thing to carry. It's just not going to make the cut for my personal gear sling.
