What about the Gri Gri?
can i use figure 8 or simply a ring if all im doing is rappelling?
The 8 will destroy the rope… try the atc…
which I recommend more, the type 8 descender or atc
?
you can use the figure 8 in aperature configuration
same atc i have
Liked you video, I think the figure eight is also a bad choice for a belay device cos it twists the rope. The munter hitch can also be used to belay a climber but has a harsh effect on rope.
