For those who are "autolockers only" for safety use,

In situations where you'd be tied in using two lanyards,
this can have the result that you're using up to *four* biners that you are clipped in with.

You'd have to keep in mind that all 4 of those would have to be autolocking biners.

Ekka,
yeah, to me the autolockers are more expensive, heavier, and from previous experience I've found that they fail much more often. I have some, I just don't use them exclusively.

Thanks for the links Newguy.
