Haven't both the Reverso and ATC-guide autoblock modes always been bitches with ropes over 10.2? Trying to pull a bigger rope over itself and around like that is going to be work unless the device was bigger than your fist. It helps if you rig it up high so you get a better angle, and then guide the climber strand upwards with your other hand.
I use an ATC-Guide, although I wish I had a GriGri for sport. |
