Never really thought about it.

I'm seeing one pro already...
Say you're on a tricky limb walk, and the branch above you could be used as a second stability tie-in point. One could of course throw the snap hook over the branch and connect it round the limb to the line, but say that branch is too high to reach again to unclip it when walking back to the stem... then this tech could be the answer....

pitty we can't attach the prussik permanently.... Due to al lot of use and motion it'll fall off when not in use after a while....
