I really like this method for lead. It’s simple compared to other systems I’ve seen. Might have to get a gri

I LRS whenever possible and I love seeing how everyone else sets up their system. I may not set mine up the same but I will remember how other people set theirs up so I can always adjust to theirs if the situation calls for it.

Running the rope out of the backpack and behind the sternum (chest) strap seems neat, but it would interfere with the safety knot running passed smoothly and catching should the grigri fail. At best the knot would rip the strap and harness of the pack down into the grigri. It would be quite messy and you might wreck your backpack but I guess you wouldn't die. After much experimentation I have now abandoned safety knots and instead climb with two ropes in the backpack, one running (via a short cache loop) through a grigri and the other through a (modified) revo. It's very smooth, has built-in redundancy, and catches quickly every time on test falls.

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

Thanks for the tip. Of course, with two ropes and two different belay devices, that's even better. But if you only want to secure with the Grigri and still want to have a backup, I've never had problems with the buttons and the Grigri blocks quickly when it feels resistance.

[@energeia1877]

Super. Keep up with the great videos!

I think the knots at the screws are a bad idea. Eliminating the “slack” also eliminates the stretch in all that rope that absorbs the force of a fall impact. This would make for a harder fall and put far more stress on a screw during a fall.

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

i think that is not a problem and you need a backup

[@samcarr7354]

I think the weight of the rope can pull quite a lot, making it very difficult to know how much slack you have in the system. A loop of rope could form a few draws below you without you knowing -- big fall! I believe he says "slip knot" as he's tying it. I don't know what knot he ties, but I guess it holds the weight of the rope but comes undone in a fall? It isn't used to back up the anchor - that should be really solid! Personally I would take slack out of the system with this knot only when the weight of the rope is a concern. With careful management, it probably isn't necessary. Any non-slip knot would for sure reduce the rope in the system and increase force on the screw.

[@Awesomlypossom]

Also the slip knot should pull out letting more rope absorb the fall

Hallo, Herr Nachbach ! Ich möchte nächstens Rope Solo Grigri auf Felsen testen, und finde im Gesamten Ihr System so ziemlich Top ! Nur das Rucksack mitschleppen erscheint mir bei schwierige Bewegungen etwas umständig ... Könnte man ihn nicht einfach am Boden lassen und das Seil nach Oben mitziehen ? Haben Sie ein Loch durch den GriGri geboren, um die dünne Halteschnur anzuschliessen ?? Auf meinem besteht visuell keine andere möglichkeit und möchte lieber fragen bevor was daran ändern ...

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

Hallo Danke für Kommentar. Rucksack oder Seil kann auch am Boden gelassen werden. Dann einfach hinten am Harness eine Petzl Micro Traxion befestigen (verkhert rum), sodass die Seillast dadurch aufgenommen werden kann. Somit kannst du das benötigte Seil immer in sogenannten Cache Loup bereitstellen und klettern. Ja Loch gebohrt in Grigri, wie auf so vielen Internet Bildern, damit es verkehrt rum benutzt werden kann. Viel Spass beim klettern.

[@jansolo55]

@@SWISSPOWERJET Danke schön, Herr Nachbach aus der Schweiz ! Das werde ich sobald wie möglich testen .Wir hier, klettern im Süd Frankreich .

4:08 why must the rope go down, man? Isn't it more dangerous that way? You said the grigri locks easier that way, but actually it makes slipping easier. Having the rope doing an arc opposed to the arc inside the grigri makes the locking easier, right?

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

Thanks for the question. So when the rope goes straight up it doesn't block as quickly as when the rope goes down. The weight of the rope and the friction of the carabiner allow the Grigri to lock more quickly.

What kind of atc did you use for the last rapell? The one with autoblock mode. Haven't seen that used on rapell. Thanks!

[@SWISSPOWERJET]

Hello - thank for comment - in this movie i use the Edelrid Giga Jul (Autotuber) - but now i would recomend the CT Alpine Up - watch this... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp3ZfGqamLufpbM

[@metacum]

@SWISSPOWERJET Good tip, thank you! Strange that the Alpine up has slipped my attention. I'll see if any buddies has one so I can check it out. Def looks like interesting.
