Tucked away at a little belay

Went to the Flatirons today and liked this pic I took of Matt and Melissa. I used half ropes today (since we had 3) and I tried the autoblock belay system Woodchuck displayed on this site and it worked beautifully. I did not have a Reverso but rather a BD ATC Guide. I will only belay from my harness again if there are no other options.

I couldn't believe it. It was easier for me to belay 2 people climbing at the same time than it was belaying 1 person from my harness. Thanks for turning me on to that Woodchuck.
