Simple rope soloing options 25-Mar-2020 At 8:34:01 AM ajfclark

Petzel has a page about fixed TR soloing which obviously favours Petzl devices, but you could make intelligent substitutions for other brands:

Lead solo there's a thread somewhere on here with the grigri mod I think? The pictures might have died in the intervening years though.

My memory was it's something like this: http://www.instructables.com/id/Roped-soloing-with-grigri/

Critical things are a bottom anchor that can take an upwards force and the gri gri maintain orientation.

On the lead rope solo front, M9 probably has a lot of detail on that front, screamers, etc. I'd wait for him to chime in too.
