This video, right?
Yes, that's the one. Thanks Andrew. I still us the 'classic' method using just my pinkie to allow the rope to feed out. But I've tried the new technique and it's good. Hard to change a habit that's still safe I suppose.
The video clearly shows the technique to avoid. Pretty clear why. A thumb will hold the grigri open in the event of a fall, and climber decks. But my pinkie can't. It locks off if the climber falls while rope is being fed out. |
