Roped Soloing Techniques 5-Mar-2009 At 1:59:08 PM harold

I have done a bit of top rope solo with an unmodified grigri and no chest harness. It feeds ok and I dont see any problems. Is this dangerous? I'm not quite following why (but there must be a good reason) the mods are made to keep the grigri upright. Or is it more for lead solo? Maybe I am a bit slow, so can someone explain.

Also, the link http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/turkia/climbing/ shows using a ground anchor then rope running through a tope anchor then back to the ground. Dont do that outdoors, i think thats just to show how to do it in the gym. Just tie the rope to the top anchor and weight the bottom. Plus you can have a separate line to tie a back up knot to if you want.
That site also says that grigris are dangerous for self belay, whats up with that? They dont give a reason.
