Thoughts on guiding with the Neox
Вставка

- I saw some folks talking about how they could fit the new Neox into guiding applications. Mostly in the single pitch realm, but also in other forms of climbing, so since I've had one for the last month now I thought it would be a good topic to make a video discussing what I like to use the whole Grigri family for.

Was waiting for this review. The practicality of your reviews are what make em a lot more valuable than some others on here
I’m a fan of using my grigri+ to belay from the top in multi-pitch settings.
It’s much easier to pull rope through the device compared to an ATC in guide mode.
It also speeds up certain self rescue situations.
Nice vid! I always have the grigri+ in lead mode as I thought the toprope one was a gimmick for beginner. I will start using this mode in multipitch settings :)
By the way, do you find the anti-panic function inconvenient when lowering someone from above?
It's totally inconvenient, but I do the same thing where I let the anti-panic engage then I keep pulling the leaver back without a reset, it lowers like a normal Grigri after that.
Love the cats are they siblings? I rock that same shirt too. I’ve yet to try the Neox but I’ve been told they chatter.
Ya the two cats are brother and sister. The Neox does make a chatter sound when taking in slack, it's a little hard to get used to, but it only makes that sound with that one thing. The rest of the time it's pretty quiet.
Whats the cats name?
That one is named Oliver, the other cat that you see more often is Sky.
Chairman who??
Chairman Meow, he runs the place
