Petzl would have something to say about this. The gri-gri is an auto-locking belay device but from what I've seen, Petzl strongly recommends keeping a hand on the brake rope at all times. Gri-gris aren't failsafe - I've taken a pretty decent fall due to rope slipping through a gri-gri until my belayer managed to stop it. If you want to climb on your own, boulder. But even then, best stay indoors as there's just too many ways to get hurt climbing outdoors, and you really want _someone_ with you if you do!
