Petzl NEOX Long Term Review & What is that clicking noise?

[@bluetiger435]

came back to this video after getting a neox and your at home practice setup has been invaluable to me!

Glad it was helpful for you? What do you think of the Neox?

@@RajGiandeep I've only had the chance to use it for maybe 2 gym sessions so far (lead only), but I enjoyed it much more than the grigri. I haven't been climbing lead for very long and the method/grip for lead belay with grigri always seemed uncomfortable and arcane to me as a newcomer. I dont like the idea of thumbing down the cam when feeding slack and only having the break strand in my least dexterous fingers. ATC style belaying with the neox feels simpler and more secure to me. The first few climbs I experienced the cam engaging for a split second when feeding slack, but once I smoothed out the motion and adjusted my brake-hand to feed in sync I experienced no more issues. I read a lot of complaints about the clicking but I have heard it click maybe once in the dozen or so times i belayed with it. I have yet to use it for toprope though, my gyms provide a grigri pre-attached to all the top rope rigs.

That mysterious clicking noise? Kind of catchy. Got it? Catchy.

[@bewimotos]

Just got one and used it around 4 times, giving rope is super smooth, but its noisy "like the noise of a bearing with out grease" seems like it catch some dirt inside of the system.

[@RajGiandeep]

It seems like the interior is pretty protected against dirt.
