THANKS - HERE MY NEWEST ROPO SOLO MOVIE kzread.info/dash/bejne/q32JrtClosusfdI.html

Good quick summary of how lead rope solo works, thanks! The music was much louder than the rest of the audio though

In order to be lighter coul be also good a non autolockant system with a prusik?...i hate autolockant system as grigri because thwy always go locked if you use rope bigger than 8...i think that coupd become a proble in solo climbing...need to find some more efficient way...anyway not that matter but i think that the mamut is the best half autolockant system

Awesome informative video, what is the point of using rubber bands?

Thank you for sharing. I really like the idea with the rubber rings. I used thin acessory cord.... I think I will adapt this to my system. Have you ever considered using a system with half ropes?

The realistic failure mode of the grigri though is that it won't cam. Another device braking will cause it to cam. Even if you load the grigri backwards it will successfully lock and the majority of the weight will be transmitted through the grigri and not the backup device.

so its likely caving SRT system made of diy alp pieces. why not use caving sys redundant and safe with no excuses like 2mm rope for nothing but fall

HI ERIC MOSS - THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT IN CASE OF FALL IF THE GRIGRI WILL NOT CATCH, THE ROLLNLOCK WILL CATCH AND IN THIS MOMENT THE GRIGRI WILL CLOSE. I THINK THERE IS NO PULLEY BETWEEN YOUR CHEST AND WAIST, BECAUSE THE GRIGRI WILL CLOSE IN THE SAME MOMENT AS THE ROLLNLOCK IS CLOSING AND THE THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO SYSTEMS ARE COMMING VERY CLOSE IN A FALL. LOOK IN THE VIEDEO AT 2.52. THEREFORE IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. WHEN YOU FEED OUT OF THE BACKPACK (WHAT IS THE BEST VARIANT FROM MY VIEW), YOU MUST PULL OUT SEVERAL METERS ROPE FOR YOUR NEXT MOVE. NOW: YOU NEED FOR GOOD ROPE GUIDANCE, ANYWAY A BINER. THE ADVANTAGE, FROM THE ADDITIONAL ROLLNLOCK IS, ... THE DOUBLE SAFETY. WITH ADDITIONAL STOPPER KNOT, YOU WILL HAVE TRIPLE SAFETY.

Rubber bands stop the rope slowly creeping back through the draws and potentially leaving excess rope to take a big whipper on or hitting the deck if close enough to the ground. Always keep check there is no excess slack on the anchor side of the rope.

Many folks tie a clove hitch around the biner, which kinda does the same thing but not as elegantly. The clove hitch runs the risk of pulling (trad) gear with an upward tug, and limits the amount of rope you have out if clipped to a bolt (increasing the fall factor). The only downside I see to the rubbers is that you cant get them on with one hand.

How did you attach the little cord to the grigri for attaching it to your chest harness?

Using rollnlock to assist grigri locking is clever. However, I've had grigri go to bad place in carabiner and carabiner holding grigri can get twisted or even side loaded. I've not broken the biner with that but others have. I've had a risk of twisting even with rubber stoppers on the carabiner. (Using a cord/sling can help there, large mallons can also take more side load when they fit) I tend to use a different backup device on belay loop because of that. If chest harness was connected to belay loop by some means , chest harness mounted decice could also act as backup in case grigri carabiner fails. I've had some toothed pulley device that can be locked open lock open when climbing. I think that does not happen easily with roll'n'lock that needs using the two side buttons but I avoid all devices that can lock open to pulley mode for any backup catching. Better to avoid all faiure modes you can.

Unfortunately devices like grigri have plates with edges and those can grab on to carabiner locks and even a carabiner side portion. I was really supprised to see the latter happen!

@@Jwynne_ Several other manufacturers make those kind of belay beners that have the belay loop always at right position. With such, I've seen a grigri yet go to the side and when twisted lock up to the spine of carabiner. In soloing, it is good idea to always assume something like that can happen and when you eg. twiist grigri on thew spine, it may not take typical force anymore. Better to have a proper carabiner but yet to still have some kind of backup just in caese. I think the belay carabiners trying to prevent cross loading have become very available in multiple ways from many manurfacturers just over couple years or so.

I feel the quickdraw would be pull up by the rope and the rubber could then break (not a problem in itself), throwing the quickdraw quickly on the wall (not too good). All this is on a fall ofc.

So the question I have that I can never find the answer to is what do you do when you reach the top? Do you have to climb back down the same way and unclip each quick clip you placed going up??

If you don’t know the answer to that, you really shouldn’t be contemplating any type of roped soloing. All it takes is the system you’re using To fail once and that’s it for you. If you don’t know the limitations and potential for failure. I sure wouldn’t want to trust my life to that roll n’ lock in a dynamic fall if/when that gri-gri ever fails to engage, clipped where it’s clipped, in a non load bearing point on that chest harness.

You're right, too many opinionated dabblers. There are endless 'systems' which 'work' for lead rope soloing, but for me it's a matter of the degree they intrude on the rhythm and flow of my movement which I personally consider the greatest source of my 'safety'. To elaborate on that, I'm basically soloing with a rope backup system and I don't need my backup system to have a backup system which only interferes with my movement. Having been lead trad rope soloing for over four decades and many thousands of pitches variously with no device at all, all the devices at some point or another, a grigri for 14 years, and now the Eddy for 15 years the best suggestion is study the options and figure out what works for you but, after that's said and done, what percentage of the time are you climbing versus fucking with 'the system' and are you constantly getting jerked back from the flow of climbing to deal with some aspect of the system. If I can't get 'the system' to fade into an almost autopilot background activity that's just part of the rhythm and flow of my movement then it's not worth using.
