Assuming the top piece holds and the belayer isn't yanked up against the first piece can anybody explain the circumstances where a Gri-Gri will fail to hold a fall. Mikl has already indicated he has had a grounder and I know another climber who was dropped by an experienced belayer using a Gri-gri. Is it possible for part of the rope to catch on the lever thereby releasing the unit? My thinking is that if you understand how this can happen you are more likely to be able to prevent an accident occuring. Any ideas?
My apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere on the forum. |
