Staple for the crags & gym

By gre2501083 Ranked #318 - Belay and Rappel Devices April 6, 2010

First off, I would almost insist on someone learning how to use an ATC first before becoming too reliant on the GriGri, but that said if I am climbing/leading with someone I might not be 100% with, I will set this puppy up and it is much nicer knowing that if I fall and they freak, it will catch me. Not the easiest to belay a leader, but since you will need an ATC to rap, I switch between the two depending on who I am climbing with anyways based on their speed/slack preference/weight/ect....
