Mammut Infinity Climbing Rope - 9.5mm
November 8, 2009
the grigri is fine to use on ropes above 9mm as long as your belayer knows how to use one, the thinner diameter will run thu the device if your not holding the tail end of the rope as for a non locking atc or something. i was being belayed by this guy on a grigri and he dropped me from 5 bolts up to 1/2 a meter from the ground on a 10 mm rope, when i protested what the f*#k he said, the grigri didnt lock off man.... i asked, were you holding the end of the rope he said, i didnt think you had to!! and this guy was quite an experienced climber! so now i always ask new belayers if they know they need to hold the tail end no matter what the rope diameter ;)
