Having replaced my old stop with the new version I also bought a Freino krab to go with it.
First time out on Sunday I encountered some problems and wondered if anyone else had experienced the same.
At the first rebelay I lowered onto my cowstails and found that I couldn't get the rope free of the krab, all the other gear was compressed together ( chest ascender, cowstails etc ). After trying various things fortunately I could get back up easily ( Sell Gill first pitch ).
I also discovered that the cowstails had also managed to twist the krab lock and end up passing through the krab.
After that I reverted to a normal braking krab and continued without incident for the rest of the day.
Without a rebelay to test on I'm not confident to trust this again - it could be the order I have the gear on the D ring which caused problems, does anyone have any advice on using a freino or has anyone else experienced problems.
