"Lots of Uses"  04/14/12

Anchor tool, personal anchor, and many other uses. The real question isn't if you should buy one, its why haven't you bought one? Safer, light and useful. Buy one. It's totally worth it.

"Great personal anchor"  03/18/12

These things are sweet! They are super easy to use and very comfortable when belaying from them! Long, short, or whatever you need these things got yo back.

"I prefer other personal anchoring methods"  02/25/12

I have used this anchor system a lot since I got it for free. When I climb I usually have to run it between my legs and clip it to the back of my harness, which sucks when I have to set up an anchor to clean the route I just climbed. Depending on how far below my anchor I am I dislike having to move my carabiners to different loops.

"Any anchor, anytime, any rappel. Period."  01/20/12

Metolius does it again. This thing makes a hanging belay so much easier. Too short... adjust, too long...adjust! I use it every climb. Even though I'm color blind.

"I've used it twice and it works great."  12/24/11

This is my first PAS so it's definitely scary trusting your life with some webbing when you're way high in the sky. It has held up well the couple of times I used it though and kept me safe! Good and important tool when you are learning to clean routes.

"Better than a daisy. Reliable and effective."  12/11/11

This thing makes it fast and easy to equalize 2 anchors, and it's way stronger than a daisy chain for anchoring off at the top of a route. Be a little cautious not to shock-load it, since it's dyneema and not nylon and therefore won't stretch even a little. I haven't heard of any reports of it failing under shock load, but it's best to be safe.

"Great alternative to slings"  11/28/11

My climbing partner kept talking about how great this is and finally talked me into buying one. It's so much more convenient than slings! No more messing around with them when they are wrong length. Just pick the loop that works and clip in to the anchor point with a locker. I use the second locker to clip to another point for redundancy. Can't get any easier than that.

It look like it is a nice solution for 2 point anchor.

"Go with Sterling's Chain Reactor or a Purcell"  10/31/11

Picked one of these up because I know people who use them and love them. It works, and it's safer than a daisy, but even the new 22kn one won't handle anything over a factor 1.25ish fall in drop tests. I found out about the Sterling Chain Reactor, which is all nylon and can handle several factor 2 falls, two days after I bought my PAS. D'oh! Anyways, I've found that while this thing is convenient, it still doesn't beat a Purcell prusik.Bottom line: if you want a chain-style anchor system, go with the Sterling. Even better, get yourself some 7mm cord and make yourself a purcell prusik anchor (http://www.canyoneering.us/docs/purcellprusiks.pdf)!

"Retire your daisy chain"  10/18/11

This is so much better than using daisies -- you're always assured of a secure tie-in and it's full-strength on every loop!I use mine with two locking biners - one in the last loop of the chain to tie-in, and the other to link loops to shorten/lengthen it on the fly without releasing the master. Nice and easy.
