tvashtarkatena Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I know, I know, Gorilla tape across the pie hole is the cheaper way to do this, and I've been tempted, but that goes both ways. You know who you are. You hemorrhaged money for that thing and no longer use it. Anyone out there willing to part with theirs? Quote
JosephH Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Most 'big name' soloists on Supertopo (Ammon and Kate) use an unmodified grigri for aid soloing. And while the SP is no doubt the 'safest' option for free lead rope soloing, I could never come to terms with it as it's too bulky and slow. The Edelrid Eddy is just so much cleaner and faster, but to each his own and YMMV. Quote

pink Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 BAM interesting - NOT the pink plastic blow-up doll i was expecting just trying to help a negro out, obviously he's unsatisfied with his not so silent partner… i figured a whole game change would be healing Quote
