I agree with you there, but I have to say using a Gri Gri would be counter productive ,
yes they are good at holding falls but they start slipping at 9kn as apposed to 3kn of a tube type device,
in combination with ice screws and warthogs (ice pitons) it would create too much shock loading perhaps risking the placement, a ff1.5 then becomes a ff2 !
as a possible sugestion I would use a Super Munter as it holds big falls easily but is more dynamic as a tool than a gri gri.
