????the skill to lower a fallen partner with a Gri-gri? pull the handle, seems pretty simple. Are you refering to a reverso? there also pretty simple to lower a fallen partner

I pretty much only belay off the anchor using my reverso in guide mode, makes for quick and easy change overs, means i can be re-racking, drink, eat and ready for the next pitch. It is easy to escape the belay for rescue too if need be,
