Belay And Stay.
The next time you're belaying your climbing buddy, Grivel's Clepsydra S will keep your biner and belay device exactly where they need to be in order for your friend to send. A smaller version of the original, the S is lighter and fit for smaller hands. The Clepsydra has a TwinGate locking system so that you never forget to screw your gate shut before you belay. The independent wire gate holds the belay loop on your harness in place on the biner, so it stays out of your way while you focus on your climber and your technique and also gets rid of the possibility of cross loading your biner if your friend were to whip.

Awesome anti-crossload carabiner
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I use this carabiner to attach the secondary device to my belay loop when top rope soloing. The bottom basket is exactly the same width as the belay loop on my harness (19mm), and the horn on top is just tall enough to make crossloading impossible. The twin gate is very easy to get used to and it's nice that I don't have to worry about accidentally leaving it unlocked. The wire gates are also quite snappy, which I personally prefer. Note that this is the smaller version of the Cleypsydra, and the curved spine and inside gate take up more space than I was expecting. This hasn't been an issue for me, but it may make it difficult to load some devices.
