With all the Alien bashing going around the web, I for one wanted to say I love the things, plan on still using mine and buying more. They are hands down my favorite piece of rock gear. (and I have every alien)

Long live the aliens!!

IMHO CCH needs to stand up straight, take it on the chin, fix it, and go forth to make more aliens!!.

It's true. I have photographic evidence of d-elvis actually... climbing.

Who knew?!?

Just about everyone respects the usefulness of the Alien design. It might be important to note when major distributors put them back on their shelves. Until then I think we can surmise that they don't feel any more secure about recent and new Aliens than I do.
