Listen, let's just get down to brass tacks here. Mad Rock's Lifeguard is coming for the crown. This is the first assisted braking device in decades that can actually dethrone the GOAT. Let's get into the "why."
First off, the Lifeguard is constructed entirely with aircraft-grade hot-forged aluminum and stainless steel. You won't find a hint of plastic anywhere, making durability a non-issue. This nifty belay device also tips the scales under the competition, saving precious ounces that add up pitch after pitch. The exceptionally compact Lifeguard is also much smaller than many assisted brakers, making it a perfect option for those with small hands or climbers who want their gear a bit smaller on longer routes.
More compact, less weight, more durable, unquestionably safe and reliable. Pretty good resume.
