Do you use the regular Gri Gri or the Gri Gri +I switched to a gri gri, it is a smoother ride than the madrock.

The regular. I ascend on a Kong, switch at height so I can rappel at anytime. I do tie an alpine butterfly while hunting.Do you use the regular Gri Gri or the Gri Gri +
But like most that identify, you really aren't what you say you are, that is why you have to tell the world what you areMy ATC identifies as a device.
Didn't mean to offend if I did. After rereading through I realize others were helped by meandering. Again, playing moderator helps no one. Lo siento.
The Kong Oka is a nice option, either the traditional configuration, or a more compact method, as shown. Wrapping the rope around the side horn gives more than enough friction to take all the weight off the hitch when descending.Just to add my 2 cents....I also hunt off of the ATC with a schwabisch above which works perfectly...never found a good way to do this with the fig 8.
Clip your bridge into the shackle? Interesting set up.The Kong Oka is a nice option, either the traditional configuration, or a more compact method, as shown. Wrapping the rope around the side horn gives more than enough friction to take all the weight off the hitch when descending.

@Dmathews87 has got it right!!Can't recall if this has been discussed lately, so apologies if this has been covered recently.
I typically climb with Lone Wolf Hand Climber. I would like option to rappel from certain trees where I have to adjust the traction belt during the climb up. Adjusting this belt is a PITA so if weight/bulk penalty of carrying rappel gear is not too high I'd rather just rappel down.
What's the latest/greatest rope and device combination for doing this?
What’s your rope and hitch cord combo? I tried that and depending how many hitch wraps I used I could either get it to tend beautifully or catch me when I sat into the saddle.I like how easy it is taking up slack with the ATC tending the schwabish. It's much better than the Madrock. Think I'm going to ditch the Madrock and go back to the tried and true ATC/friction hitch combo.
What brand and diameter rope is pictured here?
