Switched from a basic tube device and the cam-assisted blocking is a game changer on top rope—my hands actually get a break when my partner hangs to rest. The anti-panic handle also kicked in exactly when I grabbed too hard, which was reassuring on my first lead attempts.

The anti-panic handle alone is worth it—I've caught a few unexpected falls while learning to lead and the cam just grabs the rope smoothly every time. It feels solid on the top rope too, and the action is buttery once you get the hang of it. My climbing partner noticed I'm way less nervous belaying

The anti-panic handle gives me real peace of mind when I'm belaying someone heavier than me. Cam-assisted blocking catches smoothly on top rope, though the device is a bit bulky in my harness. Solid pick overall.
