Hi David, We've been using these in Europe for a while:
http://www.karstsports.com/maillonrapide.html Though the one you picked up from a dive shop is probably not up to the same standard, as you point out. However, for diving the loads aren't the same as in caving :-) Cheers, Stefan -----Original Message----- From: David Locklear [mailto:[email protected]] I found this small metal link in a scuba shop: http://www.cetaceacorp.com/image.php?object_id=272&image_id=271&mode=det ailed It appears to be high-quality and stainless steel. I plan to use it for a key-ring. But it seems like it has potential use somewhere on your gear loop of your caving harness. It is the size of the toy carabiners sold in hardware stores. It is probably only designed to safely hold 150 pounds. I have seen cavers with regular oval shaped small quick-links on their climbing systems, for attaching ascenders and hanging your heavy pack beneath you or clipping spare gear to your harness. -- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The contents of this email and any attachments are confidential and may also be privileged.
