Do you like the revo more than the grigri? I use the grigri, and I'm thinking of buying the revo thanks for the videos

[@AndreaCalligarisClimbing]

Yes, I ended up trusting the Revo and now I prefer it to the GriGri because it's so much less of an hassle. However you have to mod it, etc. See my manual for all the info: app.box.com/s/xe19rd4mymgu63vqaq1owf1doh2na92g

@@AndreaCalligarisClimbing Thanks, I have seen your manual, very well explained everything Thank you

[@jansveen]

@@AndreaCalligarisClimbing Thank you so much for the manual. I've been wondering if Ishould go for the revo, because it seems so clean. Like you, I don't like all the fuzz about equipment, just the necessary safety. Your system is the cleanest I've seen..

[@AndreaCalligarisClimbing]

@@jansveen Then, go with the Revo for sure. Just be aware of all the safety issues, read well the "Cons - Important!" section of the Revo part in the manual. Always bring with you a GriGri in case a route doesn't fit the Revo. I would mainly be careful about not doing a FF2, and I would occasionally check that the teeth are not consumed.

why are these routes bolted so frequently? I could aid the complete thing using only 2 ladders and expresses

[@vikingboer756]

Andrea, I’ve read your manual and used it to start my own soloing along with other sources. One thing I’d like to ask is have you considered using a shock absorber at your anchor like a Pezl Absorbica for instance? I’m looking at the possibility of it and whether or not it’ll just blow on the first hard-ish fall. I’d like to hear your thoughts on this🍻💪

[@AndreaCalligarisClimbing]

"Climbing" → "Soft catch / dynamic belaying" In short, I want the simplest system possible and I want to fiddle less with gear and feel "free" in my "free climbing". Therefore the best solution is to use Beal ropes: they stretch a lot and you get a soft enough catch with no cons at all. No better solution in existence. Screamers are yet to be proven useful when placed in a LRS anchor. Also, as you foresee, if you work a route you cannot blow 10 of them on one session. Their use makes sense when used directly on a piece, if you do trad.

[@vikingboer756]

Clearly I missed that. Thanks for the info👌

[@aaronswank]

i quickly scanned your manual, in this video are you only using the grigri?

[@AndreaCalligarisClimbing]

In this video I'm using the modded Revo.
