Zero-G G-Spot

Technical details:

I acquired my Zero-G G-Spot from Walkhigh Mountaineering in 2007.

The Zero-G G-Spot is a belay tube that is is forged from aluminum alloy and then soft anodized. Mine is 46 mm. long, 53 mm. wide, 100 mm. high, and weighs 57 g. Each slot is 33 mm. long and 14 mm. wide. The top of the Omega oval carabiner that I use for comparing belay tubes sits 15 mm. below the ends of the slots.The G-Spot has a moderately stiff plastic covered cable keeper.

One side of the G-Spot is etched with an illustration showing how to rig the device, the Zero-G logo, "ZERO-G," and "0107" (presumably the date of manufacture).

Comments:

Stiff keepers stand up better to the rope running over them (by accident, of course), but make the device harder to pack. The keeper is crimped in place, and the ends are visible- not that it matters either way.
