But, in order to know this and be prepared for it, one would have to not be a fucking retard, and thus would not have threaded it improperly in the first place. Curious. Some friends and I tried to use a grigri like an ATC... Didn't work. Have you actually tried this or are you just thinking it would work.?.? no, I have not personally ever tried it. However, the fact that I am alive right now basically lends validity to the fact.
I have. I don't recall what happened though.
Edit: Actually, I do remember. I had wanted to solo lead and a grigri was the best device I had available that would have enabled that. In that regard, the grigri was actually set correctly as it did catch a short fall (about 3 - 4 feet). There was a lot of friction when I had tried to pull the rope through, however, which was one of the two reasons I stopped doing it.
