Abigail ScottBy Abigail Scott
I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love the Mad Rock Lifeguard Belay Device:

The Mad Rock Lifeguard Belay Device is a fantastic choice for climbers who desire a smooth slack pay. Unlike traditional tube-style devices, this device utilizes a camming action, providing a much-needed tension relief for our brake hand when our climber is hanging and analyzing the crux. Not only does it deliver exceptional performance, but its full metal construction adds a layer of confidence and durability, ensuring it will withstand any challenges we may encounter on the rock. Additionally, its compact size sets it apart from other assisted braking devices, helping us save weight and precious space on our rack.
