I have been using a Madrock Safeguard for just over 1 year as my ascender/descender in an SRT setup. I briefly used monster 10mm static rope then 1 season using blue water 10.5mm static rope and most recently Sterling C-IV 9mm static rope. The device performed as expected until I started using C-IV
I started having issues where the device would intermittently creep at a rate of roughly 1 inch per second unless strong pressure is applied to tail end of the rope. This happened while ascending and also while at rest at hunting height.
I sent an email to Madrock to explain the issue, provided a video/photos. They responded that they suspect the issue is due to the rope not the device.
Has anyone on here had issues with C-IV and the safeguard or with any other device? I’m considering switching to the Grigri+
