More or less friction for belay devices?	15-May-2011 At 10:53:03 PM	Wighty

I've had this discussion with a couple of mates in the last year or so and am keen to try and settle this once and for all. Does adding a second screw gate through the rope when using a belay plate create a more or less controlled lower (i.e. more or less friction) I was under the impression that the second biner creates a larger angle which enables the rope to slide through the device easier. Mates believe that by having the second biner more rope touches metal creating a slower and more controlled lower due to more friction. Any thoughts?
