@Broski looks good. I’m still set up with the old school stuff to go along with my 8274’s.

I‘m still in favor of wire rope with when & where I wheel…rocky stuff in the Eastern Sierra. I love & use Factor 55 stuff…but…I’m just not convinced the round pulley thing is the way to go vs my snatch block. Can’t put my finger on why for sure…just not.

Standard snatch block is 5lbs. F55 ring is just over 1.
I just swapped out my standard blocks and most of my steel shackles. Major weight drop. My bag was ridiculously heavy.

Ha ha this is exactly why I made the switch, the old set up was 10lbs, the new setup is 1.5lbs
I did keep a couple of my old shackles in the bag
