[jaketarren]

I've always thought the teeth on ascenders would tear up your rope.

Oh dude I apologize if I came across as a

D- Bag, it's just how you just said it. Yes you are absolutely right about people getting hurt up there it is no joke.

"Hit a ledge and DIE" are you sure? LOL!!

@GLORYZERO5 Yep, happened on The Shield on El Capitan off just before the top. There are a number of people who have taken huge falls into space but luckily not hit anything

ummm, i disagree. gri-gri costs $100 a pop. theyre not THAT easy to put in the rope, and you take a much greater chance of dropping your gri.

[samwell1212]

@steve02008 They are easy and you are clumsy.. Get off big walls if you are so concerned about a $70 not $100 gri

Why can't you just weight the end of the rope so the Gri-gri auto feeds all the time?
