SMC spider descender

Anyone use this? I like that it accepts larger diameter of rope. Seems like it would work great for climbing or lower able base anchor.

I know it would hold, but would the 13kn MBS meet the ANSI standards for arb work and anchoring?

I am not sure, but the Petzl RIG is only rated for 14 kn and is used extensively for both purposes.

Lowerable base tie anchor, ftw. $160 cheaper. I usually skip the hardware and tie a few half-hitches to terminate my tensionless anchor base-tie.
