I saw an interesting setup at Smith Rock last year:
- Fig-8-on-bight in top end of 9.5 dyno rope clipped to single ring bolt on top of cliff,
- Climber in sit harness with a micro-traxion attached to carabiner at waist,
- Gri-Gri clipped to bottom of rope 1m above ground.
I suppose that's about as light as it gets. I guess the Gri-Gri served 2 roles: weight the end of the rope and also can be hauled up and put on the rope for descent if the climber falls off and can't get back on.
Me, I wouldn't rely on a single micro traxion... |
