Really? 2 belay loops? I'd be tempted to cut one oft.

dude, if the spring wire isn't in the hole, your piece is not semi fuktional. Maybe if you did aid, but you can't be messing with a piece that size trying to free climb. Send it back. Worst case, they say you're fucked. Best case, a repair or free/low cost replacement.

I wonder what the double loop is all about? I have read on the taco that it was developed for aid, so you could have one daisy on each loop. Some guys liked it but there were also reports that having two loops under load had a much greater sawing effect on the tie ins.
In either event, I don't understand the whole dyneema belay loop. Make that shit out of some beefier nylon.

bitchen. When you get it, sell it before you use it and buy a useful piece, like a green alien.

So I finally had my chiropractor look at my shoulder. Guess I strained one of my rotater cuff muscles, but I should have had it looked at right away because it's now a chronic injury.
Figured I better have it looked at because heading to Devils Tower.
After her messaging and stretching my shoulder feels pretty tired.

If it needs strengthening, doing extension/flexion exercises with one of those elastic bands helped me a lot.
