Ok, thanks for the info. That makes more sense I hadn't heard about the eddy yet, but it looks like a good unit. Like Epic_ed, I'd like to get my hands on a review or 2...

I've done a couple of aid pitches with it as well - it is basically better than a grigri for soloing in general.

Wren Industries, who make the Silent Partner, recommend a prusik loop for supporting the weight of the rope. They suggest shoe laces as these will break under the load of a fall.

Checkout these supertopo threads about soloing and soloing on big walls. The pics are gone, but the advice is great. Pay attention to "Pass the Pitons Pete" as he's done tons of aid soloing.
