I think i know the type.....i am less worried about that while actual climbing since a shock load will invariably engage the gri-gri's cam. More or a worry while hanging on the rope working a route which is when some people think it's ok to let go. It only takes 2 seconds to tie a knot below the device then you can text, eat drink as much as you want. I'm not sure why more people don't do this? |
