Gri-gris - any failures?	27-Feb-2004 At 5:00:19 PM	Rock Weasel

Maybe it's just me, but I have never seen the point in using a Gri-Gri. It may act as a type of redundancy in the belay system, but I consider it to be entirely unnecessary. My belayer doesn't need a back-up, they just need to be well trained. If I have any doubts about the capabilities of a potential belayer, I either bring them up to the required standard or I don't climb with them. Gri-Gris seem to used to try to ameliorate the difficulties of belaying, thus allowing less qualified persons to belay. Just but a Reverso instead!
