Talk:Figure 8 (climbing)

I removed the section claiming that it is unsafe to use for lead belaying. the citation listed (a forum post) did not support the assertion. Also see this black diamond instruction manual which clearly indicates (via the figure) how it can be used for lead belaying: http://demandware.edgesuite.net/aakn_prd/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-bdel/default/dwf3f8e6b9/files/M10799_A%20Super8%20IS_WEB.pdf

This really should be moved to Figure 8 (descender) as it is sub optimal and rarely used as a belay device SpaceInnovader (talk) 13:10, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
