I acquired my Advanced Base Camp Decelerator from Inner Mountain Outfitters in 1996.
The Advanced Base Camp Decelerator is a square tuber. It is forged from aluminum alloy and hard anodized. Mine is 49 mm. long, 85 mm. wide, 86 mm. high, and weighs 76 g. The keeper is made from plastic covered cable held in place by crimps in the dividing tube.
There are no markings in the metal of my Decelerator, nut it came with a cheap sticker saying "KOREA."
The ABC Decelerator looks and functions much like the Trango Pyramid. The ribs are rounded, not square like those on most of the other tubers.
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.
