trad + grigri 28-Feb-2012 At 1:22:24 PM Linze

..yes i know the conventional thinking on this but...

my partner weighs probably 2/3 of my weight, if that. this means that i have occasional encounters with the ground and we think that the gri gri is the differnce in making this soft rather than hard... so...

with a bit more trad climbing on the horizon, i am thinking of braking grigri + trad rule on single pitch routes, on the assumption that super dynamic belay she cant help but give will negate the extra force on the gear. being engeneeringly inept, my reasoning is that this couldnt really be more force that say a fall held on an atc on a hanging belay? have i overlooked something? do others do it?
