Ever watched people belaying on ATC's in climbing gyms ? I often wonder what happens when they go outdoors belaying. At least with auto lockers their climbing buddies stand half a chance.

My gym is pretty decent ... Maybe yours aint Wink

If anyone is depending on autolockers to make up for a lack of skill ... Yr just asking for it ... As the not infrequent gri gri drop threads prove over and over again

Good skills give a far better chance.
