The Forrest Triton is a descendent of the Titon, an versatile climbing chock of the 1970s. It is used in the same manner as normal slotted plate belay devices, but since the carabiner cannot jam the rope against the slot, it give a smoother belay but less friction, much like some of the belay tubes. It can also be used as a Titon.
