Wow...Petzl looks to have made the perfect GriGri, complete with an anti-panic feature.

So...Ryan, you Munter off everyone's ball sack including your own? Doesn't sound like a winner to the rest of us. No thanks good buddy!
We're going to need that anti-panic, assisted brake feature on the new GriGri Plus with you running around cinching off everyone's sacks.

Well this thing is coming out, has anyone fondled it yet? The 2 highlights of course are that you can adjust the spring for either Toproping or lead climbing, and of course, the anti-stupid (anti-panic) feature that the Edelrid Eddy already has had for years.

Most of us have muntered off a couple nuts at one time or another.

Looks like corporate voodoo magic to me. I'll try that munter variation and leave the chicken bone dropping to petzl.

So you passed the Ondra belay test?

Well, actually I dropped him the first day! He was climbing the Change and it’s hard five or six meters from the ground, and—I probably shouldn’t be saying this— but I’d never used a Grigri before! Never. And he said, “Oh you got to use the Grigri.” And of course I made the mistake of holding the rope, which goes to him, so I burned my fingers. He touched the ground and I’m like, oh, sh#t. But he was just so pissed that he didn’t make the moves that he didn’t even bother to tell me anything. Heinz spent the next hour showing me how to use it. And of course, during that week I got a lot of practice. Adam climbs so fast and doesn’t clip the quickdraws and he’s taking like 20-meter falls, so you really get to know how use the Grigri.
