When the cam is engaged, does the butt-end of the handle stick out (the bit everyone grabs when they feed rope in the Non-Petzl-Endorsed way), or is it all contained inside like an Eddy? It just seems like the next logical step for Petzl would be to use influences from its industrial devive the RIG, and improve the GriGri so it is almost foolproof! I know someone might disagree. But it is almost foolproof. If it's not then... I don't really know how anyone but a completely brand new belayer could fuck up the rope direction or some other grigri related problem. If you're going to kill someone with a grigri, you most likely will kill them with a grgri 2/atc/etc. in any case. I want one!! This particular dropping problem tends to happen with slightly experienced climbers than beginners... you have seen them... they have just started climbing 5.12 in the gym and therefore think it is ok to belay however they want... misinterpreted the correct technique or leqarnt it off some other gym-bunny (not all 5.12 climbers of course, I've mainly seen this in the gym). I was actually thinking more for work purposes - the main problem I have with a Grigri (as an adjustable lanyard) is knocking the protruding Cam on things (usually my elbow) every now and then and taking a small drop! Inconvenient! Rc.com at its best: two incoherent posters trying to have a conversation. Jay It must be crap not to have any friends. + 1 Maybe I should try to get killfiled so we can have a conversation without interruption...
You two mental giants ought to think about what it takes to get offended by a comment like that of mine.
