I acquired my Liberty Mountain from Link Up Gear in 2000.
The Liberty Mountain is forged from aluminum alloy and then soft anodized. Mine is 57 mm. long, 48 mm. wide, 83 mm. high, and weighs 51 g. The slots are 32 mm. long and 15 mm. wide. The top of the Omega oval carabiner that I use for comparing belay tubes sits 13 mm. below the ends of the slots. The keeper is made from 5 mm. aluminum rod.
One side of the Liberty Mountain is printed with a Mountain and the words "LIBERTY MOUNTAIN."
The Liberty Mountain is another ATC-type belay tube with a rigid rod keeper . These stand up to the rope running over them (by accident, of course), but makes the device harder to pack. The keeper is pinned in place, and the ends are not visible as they are on the Smiley Atoga - not that it matters either way. The Liberty Mountain is essentially identical to the Advance Base Camp Brakeman.
Mike Sturm created Eiger Mountain Sports Corp. in the early 1960s. He sourced pitons from Switzerland, and had Stanley Brozek of S.B.C.I. produce carabiners for him. Eiger closed in the early 1970s. After closing Eiger, Mike Sturm built a similar company, Liberty Mountain, and sold climbing gear under that name. Around 1992, Liberty Mountain created the brand Advanced Base Camp for its climbing gear. Advanced Base Camp was reborn as Cypher in 2003.
