Has a Mega Jul and a Lifeguard and likes both; prefers the Lifeguard over a GriGri for standard sport cragging.

Recently got the Mad Rock Lifeguard and loves it: cams like a GriGri but used like an ATC, brilliant for new climbers.
Testing the Lifeguard in guide mode, there's quite a bit of slip before the brake assist catches, though it feeds rope very smoothly; catches feel similar to a GriGri.
Their Mad Rock Lifeguard locks up when paying out slack to leaders.
Still locks up their Lifeguard while feeding, so it's assigned permanently to top-rope belaying.
