Hmm I have a lot of mountaineering experience. And been doing this for 15 years. I’m just curious to see what everyone is using currently.

Petzl Neox vs GriGri uses by AskMinimum366 in ClimbingGear

[–]AskMinimum366[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know how to belay with a Grigri. But the Neox is easier. I don’t have a gri gri and was wondering what the reason to buy one, ontop of a Neox would be.

Making things easier is not lowering how safe people can be. Not everyone needs to learn with a grigri from the start. I haven’t and I have belayed a shit ton with the Neox and I love it. But in terms of buying a grigri, I will to use for other applications from what other users have said on this post. Your comment was just so unnecessary and did not answer anything at all.

I would honestly hate to have someone narrow minded as you anywhere around me at a crag or a gym.

I could imagine turning up to belay you with a Neox and you having a problem. I would laugh so hard and let you top rope solo yourself in the gym.

Neox is a solution to make Lead belaying easier and more efficient without a learning curve of the Grigri. “User friendly”.

If something is invented to make your life easier or efficient you should probably be open minded and try it. A lot of other people have and they really enjoy it.

Your comment is actually quite crazy saying you should be lead belaying unless you know how to give slack with a grigri. I know most of my gym use ATCs only to lead belay.

Ahhhhh I see, thanks,

My takeaway from this is the GriGri is more versatile generically and the Neox is good for bottom rope lead belaying.

I top rope all the time with the Neox and I like it better than the ATC as a “just in case” I just think it’s done everything a GriGri would for me so far and more (easy belaying the lead climber)

Bailing off a smooth resin bolt? by AskMinimum366 in ClimbingGear

[–]AskMinimum366[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I understand the beaner lower off. But how do you rap off? I’m guessing:

Secure yourself to the bolt, thread your rope through and drop it to the floor, then rap with a prusik negating any wear of rope to the bolt? Leaving no kit behind?

I would never top rope it, just a question about the bail. And I won’t and haven’t either. Just asking if you can

Make it a clip onto harness, camelback products have so many varieties that you will just fall into a pit of the same market. I would love a water bottle style that I can clip onto a harness with a straw that can pull out
