Lorenzo Dotti donated this device to me in August 2006. He purchased it in Italy in the 1980s.
The Kong is 45 mm. long, 60 mm. wide, 8 mm. high, and weighs 54 g. It has two slots that are 45 mm. long.
One side of the plate is stamped with "KONG" and "ITALY."
The Kong is made from plated steel. The plate is not flat; instead, it has a slight bend to it. It has two long slots that give less friction than standard "Sticht" plates do. Although I don't like this for rock climbing, on snow and ice I don't mind it as much since I'm usually working with two ropes. The slot length is closer to that of various guide devices such as the Kong Gi–gi, and Cassin #217.

Hundreds of cell phone users complained and asked me to for a simpler, mobile friendly site. In particular, they wanted me to limit each page to a small number of pictures and minimize my use of text. This new site provides what they asked for.
