Gris Gris banned at Sydney Indoor 28-Jun-2006 At 8:41:09 PM chris

I was at the outdoor gym known as PC today, where every climber was using Gri-Gris (about 15 of us at the crag today).
It will be a little tough for us died-in-the-wool Gri-Gri users, but I'm sure we will adapt.
The major benefit from my point of view is that they are very easy to pay out slack very quickly, and the belayer can rest while the climber is sitting on the rope, and doesn't have to hold the rope locked off.... a benefit at dogging grottos like PC.
It will be interesting to see how things go... I wonder whether there will be just as many accidents with non-auto-lockers?
I suppose only time will tell, but I can understand the reasons, Mike.
