Cross-loading with a grigri - Mountain Project The Clepsydra S mentioned upthread just requires you to press a wire gate out, slide the whole thing onto the belay loop in one motion It's so much faster than the damn gridlock Yes I've owned both, got rid of the gridlock after a month Worst design of all the anticross loading biners out there To be honest I prefer the gridlock for this
Top Rope Solo set up - Mountain Project Sam Skovgaard wrote: Toothed devices do not chew up your rope Hmm I have had multiple people tell me you want to avoid weighting the micro trax for that reason, and one friend even declined using my rope as a fixed line for taking photos (with a micro) when he realized it was a brand new dry treated rope, because he was going to feel so bad about it
New TRS device - Mountain Project Any carabiner will fit, though I'd expect the Clepsydra S to be the best choice, as it is for the GG First impression is that the Sulu is nicely made, equal to the Taz The double recessed button to release it is confidence inspiring, though in practice I don't have any concern about the single button on the LOV3 because it also kind of hooks
Screw, Ball, Twist or Triact Lock for GriGri ATC? - Mountain Project this isn’t an imaginary problem when simulclimbing or toprope soloing it’s important to keep the grigri in the right orientation a carabiner with a horn and anti-crossroad feature does this perfectly my favorite is the grivel clepsydra k10gs, it’s tailor-made for a grigri and i love the twin-gate
Anti-Cross Loading Autolocking Carabiner? - Mountain Project I'm not sure I'm understanding the problem you're trying to solve Why do typical belay biners like the Grivel Clepsydra S (kinda sorta auto locking?) or Metolius Gatekeeper (comes in screwgate and auto lock) fall short of your requirements?
