The Wild Country Rome man is a bit of kit that sits in my bag most of the time but when it is needed it makes life much easier. It is a much better alternative to a full ascender for most people as it is so much more compact. I generally take my one if I know I am going to be climbing some long routes or if I am climbing somewhere with an abseil only approach. When I was sport climbing in Spain 8 pitches up and our ropes got stuck I was very glad of this bit of kit as went back up 60m of rope in failing light. If you plan to go aid climbing or do a big wall in the states this is not an alternative to a proper handled ascender but as a bit of kit to make life a bit easier for cragging this is a great bit of kit.
