Not sure if that's quite right.

Unaltered, rope won't run through the gri gri as you climb up. So you have to climb a bit, pull rope through, climb a bit more. As I understand the gri gri alteration method, you cut away part (a pretty useless part) of the casing, so that rope runs straighter. Then by holding it upright, rather than hanging down from the harness, the rope runs straight and will slide through as you climb up. And when you fall it just locks off like normal.

Then again I could be wrong.
