All our top-ropes have belay stations equiped with belay device (ATC). We have slo-goes on all topropes, so a GriGri is superfluous and adds too much friction to the whole system. I'm not a fan of the toprope setup you see sometimes where there is a GriGri but no slo-go. It is possible that a beginner can have a brain explosion & pull down hard on the handle and just hang on tight, letting the climber plummet. The slo-go adds "passive" friction. |
