Now the idea is that the dual wiregate spring gate horn would be affixed to the ATC.
It is too late for me to attempt that digital surgery. You get the idea, though, that as the rope exits the device, you are able to drop in a soft lock. You
could be hard-locked. Only the creation of the device, and the testing would tell.
Hard lock means you go hands-free, you are holding position on the rope.
Soft lock will allow you to micro-adjust by feeding rope into the device, in other words, you give the rope a light push up with your fingers to come down.
Hey, here's a swell idea, let's get competing companies to morph gear with each other,
"Petzl, Black Diamond. Black Diamond, Petzl.
We'd like to put a Freino together with an ATC Guide in the same bin and see if they mate."
