> Anyone else had problems rapping with this device?
Yep, if you're heavy or it's a particularly thin rope. However I've never had a problem as severe as yours Rod! I found rapping on my soft 9.4mm pretty taxing. Same deal with lowering a heavy climber with thin rope. That said, it has other advantages (as outlined by adski above) which means that in most cases, I tend to prefer it to the GriGri (I own both).
If it was a super duper abseiling day though, I would take the GriGri! |
