Well, after my last gear review, I'm sure most manufacturers would be quaking in fear should their product's performance incur my wrath.Trango, fear not. I've been using the Cinch for almost a year now, and I absolutely love it. Super simple design, and rope literally flows through it while belaying, but locks off securely in a fall. Be aware that the lack of friction when the device is unlocked works both ways. Lowering someone of near-adult size takes some practice, and since one hand is occupied holding open the release lever, your brake hand takes all the heat (literally!)
The learning curve is worth it. I highly recommend the Trango Cinch (retail $69) for your gear rack.
