Paying out slack with Gri Gri 12-Oct-2010 At 8:23:56 PM WM
Message
from the squashed dog thread some people seem to think "everyone takes their brake hand off to give slack with a Gri Gri" ...

How do you pay out slack when using a Gri Gri?

in case the options need clarification:
new method = brake (right) hand always encircles rope, thumb of brake hand is above gri gri and depresses lever to prevent device locking while other (left) hand pulls slack through
original method = brake hand drops rope, reaches under grigri and up the other side to depress lever with one or more fingertips to prevent device locking while other hand pulls slack through

@voodoo: option 4 added
@simey: the question asks what you do "when using" a gri gri - doesn't matter how rare/often that might be.
@dimpet: option 5 added
