 Great biners! They're really big and fun to use. Novice climbers seem to have a problem opening them at first and it can be entertaining to watch. Unfortunately, I clipped into it to climb with a bowline on a bight rather than tying in with figure 8 knot and scratched it to crap.. Problems with being lazy.
