Here is what I deleted off the original post after I got my answer, I am posting it again so you know what the argument was all about.
A group two new climbers were on a TR while I was setting up an aid anchor near their TR anchor . After I noticed their anchor with a pulley , I told one of the climber that their anchor needs to be modified . Dude got pissed cause he just took a climbing instruction from a certified climbing instructor .
He insisted that his climbing instructor in fact told him to use pulley for better belay cause pulley transfer the forces to belayer much smoother than carabiner, and not to forget that ,they were both belaying via 8.
Since this was in another country and I did want no trouble with locals, I told him to give me the name of the instructor so I could call the authority that issued his certificate to revoke his teaching permit . once I said that, he calm down and asked why he should not use pulley and why his anchor is classified under CF.
We climbed back to his TR and I explained everything ,he reconfigure his anchor and everything went fine.Anyway, that was the story but I forgot to see his pulley so I posted the photos to find out the KN rating and Jay512 said it was petzl with 22 KN.
