Good >for covering short tricky sections (like roofs). i personally will rarely ever tie in to the end of the rope below me. a guy i know was doing a 140m abseil, on two ropes with a gri-gri. he was tied into the end as a backup. the further he went down the worse it got due to the rope twisting but having now-where to go. he was getting close to the end of the second rope when the sheath exploded right in front of his eyes. very panicy moments followed as he pulled the damaged section back through the gri-gri.
