Is a GRIGRI better than an ATC?
Some climbers prefer the ATC because the GriGri favors right-handed belayers. Others can't get over the idea of rappelling with a GriGri. But when it comes down to convenience and redundancy, the GriGri seems to take the cake.
What's the difference between GRIGRI and GRIGRI plus?
GriGri & GriGri+ Differences
One small addition is a steel plate on the right side where the rope runs while lowering. This will reduce the amount of wear over time and extend the life of the Grigri+ compared to the standard model. It also has an integrated "anti-panic" mode.
Is it OK to rappel with GRIGRI?
With a GRIGRI, it is not possible to rappel on the two strands coming out of the anchor. So one must rappel on a single strand, blocked at the rappel ring by a knot attached to a locking carabiner. Rappel only on the strand opposite the knot block; the other strand is used only for retrieving the rope.
What does the GRIGRI stand for?
gri·gri. less common spelling of gris-gris. : a talisman, amulet, voodoo charm, spell, or incantation believed capable of warding off evil and bringing good luck to oneself or of bringing misfortune to another.
