 The makers of a belay device used on many climbing walls and towers have decided to stop making the model after problems were found with its operation.
A notice to stop using the Redpoint and Auto-Belay devices was issued in October; now, manufacturers MSA say they will no longer make the descenders, which allowed climbers to use walls without being protected by a belayer operating a rope from the ground. The company says it is withdrawing from the recreational market.
