Those are NOT Pitons, they are Cam Jammers... two totally different
things.... that do similar functions... Duh....



Then why does the website selling them call them pitons?

But Willie, you are claiming to be a rock climber in your previous
message and now you are falling back on what a salesman says?

An expert who doesn't know any more then the "sales person' in the
store? What to call such a person? A "Mall Expert"; "Saturday
afternoon shopped Expert"; fool?



Duh! If you sell a product and call it a piton and it is not a piton you can
be sued for misrepresenting the product.

Here is an example you might understand. Company X advertises a sextant for
sale. Somebody orders one and when it arrives it turns out to be an antique
astrolabe. Company X can be sued for misrepresenting the product.

Do you understand my point NOW or must I swab the decks with you some more?

Now that is about the poorest excuse for a retort as I have ever run
across... Jeeze Louise, Willie.... Have you ever climbed anything higher
than a step ladder....
