like Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.04,0:00:08.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gri like Gri So let's do some of those Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.32,0:00:11.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,strange experiments and figure out if it Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.12,0:00:14.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is a Grigree And to make things complete Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.24,0:00:16.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I will also include Neox into the mix Dialogue: 0,0:00:16.56,0:00:18.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also known as Gri And in case you want a Dialogue: 0,0:00:18.96,0:00:21.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,TLDDR version when it comes to cam Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.52,0:00:23.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,assisted devices Pinch is probably the Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.92,0:00:26.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,best alternative to Gri right now And if Dialogue: 0,0:00:26.00,0:00:27.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you want to know if it is better than Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.60,0:00:30.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Gri then the answer is not that simple Dialogue: 0,0:00:30.56,0:00:34.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let's see All right So the only truly Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.08,0:00:36.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unique feature of this device is that Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.24,0:00:38.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can attach it directly to the Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.16,0:00:40.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,harness without the need of extra Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.24,0:00:42.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,carabiner which I thought it's a super Dialogue: 0,0:00:42.64,0:00:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cool idea However what everybody Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.20,0:00:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,instantly notices that this button which Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.68,0:00:50.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,releases the device is not multi-action Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.72,0:00:53.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So it's pretty easy to press on it and Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.36,0:00:56.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,remove the device So the question is can Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.08,0:00:59.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that happen during the blaying and Edid Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.36,0:01:02.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,got bombarded by this question Oh yeah I Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.24,0:01:04.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't know how often I saw this and Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.48,0:01:06.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,honestly I was quite surprised that this Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.96,0:01:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the first thing people think of and Dialogue: 0,0:01:09.44,0:01:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,also with what passive aggressive Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.92,0:01:14.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,criticism this gets So yeah if you worry Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.56,0:01:17.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,about safety you are passive Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.40,0:01:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,aggressive But since my name got there Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.00,0:01:23.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somehow I feel I have a duty now So to Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.12,0:01:25.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,investigate this let's divide it into Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.76,0:01:28.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,four possible states First when the Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.40,0:01:30.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device is loaded then the device is Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.88,0:01:33.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unloaded and the transition between Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.20,0:01:35.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these two states So let's begin with Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.20,0:01:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unloaded scenario And let's see what Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.44,0:01:40.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Ederlid has to say about that Could I Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.16,0:01:42.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,accidentally open the device in an Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.16,0:01:44.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unloaded scenario and the answer to this Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.08,0:01:47.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is no It is simply impossible when you Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.12,0:01:49.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are attentive and you operate the device Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.52,0:01:51.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as shown in the user's manual So Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.84,0:01:54.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,understood Read the friendly manual and Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.72,0:01:58.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then it's safe But um yeah before Phil Dialogue: 0,0:01:58.16,0:02:00.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,starts hating me let's look into this Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.48,0:02:02.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,deeper So there is actually only one Dialogue: 0,0:02:02.96,0:02:05.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,spot where I can press the button It's Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.44,0:02:07.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right here If I start pressing somewhere Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.92,0:02:10.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,else nothing happens And this button is Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.72,0:02:13.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nicely flush with the plastic round So Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.28,0:02:16.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pressing from the sides nothing happens Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.64,0:02:19.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Plus the button has pretty stiff spring Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.28,0:02:22.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You need to press it quite hard to open Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.32,0:02:24.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If the device is unloaded and I would Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.80,0:02:27.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try to press the button I'm simply going Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.12,0:02:29.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to push the device to the side and Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.68,0:02:32.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nothing is going to happen Even if I try Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.16,0:02:39.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to poke it really hard Ow ow ow ow ow So Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.36,0:02:42.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the only way I can imagine pressing that Dialogue: 0,0:02:42.24,0:02:45.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,button in unloaded scenario is if I Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.28,0:02:47.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would I don't know get knocked by the Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.44,0:02:50.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rock fall on the ground and somehow Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.40,0:02:52.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,press on that button and release the Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.32,0:02:56.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device How likely for that is to Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.60,0:02:59.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happen probably not very okay Next Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.52,0:03:02.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scenario The device is loaded Well I'm Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.64,0:03:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,trying to load it now I can press the Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.88,0:03:11.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,button Okay But I cannot open the Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.60,0:03:14.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.12,0:03:17.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well apparently I Dialogue: 0,0:03:18.76,0:03:22.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can That was not planned That was first Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.24,0:03:26.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attempt Ah okay See what happens And I Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.32,0:03:28.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was pulling down on the brake strand Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.88,0:03:32.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,really hard and then it got loaded But Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.40,0:03:36.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it got loaded in this downwards facing Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.64,0:03:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,direction and then somehow by pushing on Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.08,0:03:43.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the button I managed to slip the sling a Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.04,0:03:46.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,little bit and now I can open it Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.80,0:03:50.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Normally if the load is really high Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.24,0:03:52.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,probably I would not be able to pull the Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.56,0:03:55.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device down as much and then in this Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.12,0:03:57.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,scenario if I press the button and I Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.52,0:04:00.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would try to open it it would not open Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.80,0:04:03.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because there is this little extra lip Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.04,0:04:05.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which is hooking on the blay loop So Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.76,0:04:07.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,here is actually a good moment to talk Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.68,0:04:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that there is a limit on blay loop width Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.64,0:04:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If it's too wide it's not good cuz Dialogue: 0,0:04:13.04,0:04:15.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device will sit sideways But if it's Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.36,0:04:17.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very skinny like the one that I have Dialogue: 0,0:04:17.52,0:04:20.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right now then it's more likely that the Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.24,0:04:22.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,loop could sit in some strange Dialogue: 0,0:04:22.60,0:04:25.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,orientation So I would be more cautious Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.28,0:04:27.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with super skinny harnesses like this Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.44,0:04:31.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one Now what if the device is loaded I Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.36,0:04:33.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,press the button and in that moment Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.76,0:04:37.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,somehow it would unload Could it uncip Dialogue: 0,0:04:37.28,0:04:40.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at this moment Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.60,0:04:44.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well I wouldn't say no but at the same Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.32,0:04:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time it's very very unlikely So yeah Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.68,0:04:49.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,personally with this super skinny ble Dialogue: 0,0:04:49.76,0:04:52.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,loop I was using this device with a Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.08,0:04:54.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,backup carabiner maybe a thicker blay Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.48,0:04:57.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,loops my monkey brain would be happier Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.52,0:05:00.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However I'm certain that if this button Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.24,0:05:02.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,would be double action then I would be Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.32,0:05:05.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much happier Also this direct attachment Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.84,0:05:07.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the harness requires a little bit Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.84,0:05:10.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more attention I had a viewer of mine Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.40,0:05:13.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,send me a picture where he accidentally Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.12,0:05:16.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,clipped like this which I can see how Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.96,0:05:19.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can happen quite easily where the Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.36,0:05:23.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rope runs like so Also if you don't pay Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.60,0:05:25.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attention and you have very skinny ble Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.60,0:05:28.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,loop you can accidentally close it like Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.68,0:05:31.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so And you might not notice this And Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.68,0:05:34.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this is very dangerous because it can Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.24,0:05:37.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,easily open So yeah pay attention and do Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.60,0:05:39.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the double check before you start Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.04,0:05:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,climbing always Alternatively you of Dialogue: 0,0:05:41.60,0:05:43.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,course have an option to attach it with Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.36,0:05:46.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the carabiner like any other blay device Dialogue: 0,0:05:46.08,0:05:49.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However in this case pinch sits really Dialogue: 0,0:05:49.04,0:05:51.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,far from the harness cuz it actually has Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.12,0:05:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this lip which is longer than on most of Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.76,0:05:55.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blaying devices and it becomes really Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.92,0:05:57.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,uncomfortable to use and it kind of Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.84,0:06:01.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,defeats the main benefit of pinch Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.36,0:06:04.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So yeah All right Now before we go to Dialogue: 0,0:06:04.16,0:06:06.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actual benefits of direct attachment to Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.88,0:06:10.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the harness let me first debunk one kind Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.08,0:06:13.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of myth Now that you can give more slack Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.92,0:06:16.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this way when the device is close to the Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.20,0:06:19.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,harness This is actually the opposite So Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.20,0:06:21.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if I have a grigree and I give slack Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.44,0:06:23.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this Yes now I can give a little Dialogue: 0,0:06:23.92,0:06:27.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bit less slack But guess what i can push Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.28,0:06:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gri down giving much more slack So I Dialogue: 0,0:06:32.00,0:06:35.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pull the rope and push the device down Dialogue: 0,0:06:35.20,0:06:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is actually a very cool technique Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.44,0:06:40.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for short climbers or short arm Dialogue: 0,0:06:40.96,0:06:43.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,bellayers And before my comment section Dialogue: 0,0:06:43.44,0:06:45.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,explodes I have to say that there is Dialogue: 0,0:06:45.76,0:06:48.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,multiple ways to give slack You can do Dialogue: 0,0:06:48.36,0:06:52.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this you can do that And I'm not here to Dialogue: 0,0:06:52.80,0:06:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,debate which method is the best the Dialogue: 0,0:06:54.96,0:06:57.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,safest However I will compare every Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.36,0:06:59.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,device in all of these methods So no Dialogue: 0,0:06:59.28,0:07:02.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,matter what you use or what you like you Dialogue:

0,0:07:06.96,0:07:09.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,attached to the harness And the main Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.12,0:07:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,benefit of that is that it's closer to Dialogue: 0,0:07:11.36,0:07:14.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the harness is less floppy around And Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.08,0:07:16.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,when it falls down it does not fall as Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.24,0:07:19.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much down So it makes it much easier to Dialogue: 0,0:07:19.12,0:07:22.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,find blindly with your hands And this Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.16,0:07:24.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,brings me to the first mistake where I Dialogue: 0,0:07:24.24,0:07:27.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,try to use pinch like I would use gri Dialogue: 0,0:07:27.44,0:07:29.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where I would take my index finger and Dialogue: 0,0:07:29.52,0:07:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hook under this lip and give slack like Dialogue: 0,0:07:32.64,0:07:35.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this However you quickly realize that Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.44,0:07:38.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this lip is way too small and it's not Dialogue: 0,0:07:38.08,0:07:40.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,comfortable to hook with index finger Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.32,0:07:42.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then I started grabbing with my thumb Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.96,0:07:45.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around like this And actually this is Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.68,0:07:48.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not how pinch is supposed to be bellayed Dialogue: 0,0:07:48.08,0:07:50.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So with pinch you're supposed to have Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.24,0:07:52.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all your fingers wrapped around the rope Dialogue: 0,0:07:52.40,0:07:55.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and use only the thumb to gently press Dialogue: 0,0:07:55.20,0:07:57.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the cam and give slack like this And Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.92,0:08:00.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,this works really really well So Dialogue: 0,0:08:00.64,0:08:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,objectively thinking four fingers is Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.20,0:08:06.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than three And it also encourages Dialogue: 0,0:08:06.16,0:08:08.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you to not touch the device when you Dialogue: 0,0:08:08.96,0:08:11.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't need it So it must be a little bit Dialogue: 0,0:08:11.84,0:08:14.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,safer While on contrast with Gri if I Dialogue: 0,0:08:14.56,0:08:17.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,hook my finger here and I relax too much Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.84,0:08:20.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I might not actually hold the rope at Dialogue: 0,0:08:20.32,0:08:22.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all And I already made a video of what Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.72,0:08:26.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can happen in that scenario Dialogue: 0,0:08:28.48,0:08:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So don't get too lazy and actually hold Dialogue: 0,0:08:31.04,0:08:33.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rope especially with super skinny Dialogue: 0,0:08:33.28,0:08:35.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ropes All right So how does the pinch Dialogue: 0,0:08:35.52,0:08:38.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,work in practice the first thing I Dialogue: 0,0:08:38.08,0:08:40.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,noticed that it pinch is pretty heavy Dialogue: 0,0:08:40.88,0:08:43.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and it's front heavy because it has a Dialogue: 0,0:08:43.04,0:08:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,steel insert in the front So after you Dialogue: 0,0:08:45.20,0:08:48.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,give slack it will fall down It does not Dialogue: 0,0:08:48.56,0:08:51.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fall down as much as the giri cuz it's Dialogue: 0,0:08:51.28,0:08:53.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,closer to the harness but it does fall Dialogue: 0,0:08:53.52,0:08:55.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down and there is no way to stop that Dialogue: 0,0:08:55.92,0:08:58.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,cuz you're not supposed to be hooking on Dialogue: 0,0:08:58.24,0:09:00.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it So every time you give slack it falls Dialogue: 0,0:09:00.96,0:09:02.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,down and then you have to blindly find Dialogue: 0,0:09:02.96,0:09:05.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rope again and give slack So at Dialogue: 0,0:09:05.20,0:09:07.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,first this was kind of uncomfortable but Dialogue: 0,0:09:07.76,0:09:09.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought that the longer I will use it Dialogue: 0,0:09:09.92,0:09:11.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the more I will get used to it and Dialogue: 0,0:09:11.76,0:09:14.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventually it's going to be fine And Dialogue: 0,0:09:14.00,0:09:16.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,after using it for quite a while Dialogue: 0,0:09:16.24,0:09:18.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,delaying my partners projecting Dialogue: 0,0:09:18.24,0:09:20.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,different routes eventually I kind of Dialogue: 0,0:09:20.00,0:09:22.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,got used to this However the first time Dialogue: 0,0:09:22.88,0:09:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I switched back to Griggi I instantly Dialogue: 0,0:09:25.84,0:09:28.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,felt how much easier it is to give slack Dialogue: 0,0:09:28.64,0:09:31.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for me Then you give slack like this and Dialogue: 0,0:09:31.28,0:09:34.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the device doesn't fall anywhere at all Dialogue: 0,0:09:34.96,0:09:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the first takeaway if you are a Dialogue: 0,0:09:37.44,0:09:40.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Grigree user and you like giving slack Dialogue: 0,0:09:40.08,0:09:43.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like this stay with Griggree If you're Dialogue: 0,0:09:43.84,0:09:46.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,someone who doesn't like this idea of Dialogue: 0,0:09:46.40,0:09:49.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,having hands close to Blay device then Dialogue: 0,0:09:49.20,0:09:52.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pinch is much better option Now in case Dialogue: 0,0:09:52.08,0:09:54.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you like giving slack like this in a Dialogue: 0,0:09:54.32,0:09:55.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tube Dialogue: 0,0:09:55.40,0:09:58.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,style style then I actually tested all Dialogue: 0,0:09:58.80,0:10:00.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the devices with different rope Dialogue: 0,0:10:00.56,0:10:02.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thicknesses We have skinny ropes it Dialogue: 0,0:10:02.72,0:10:05.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,doesn't matter All the devices work very Dialogue: 0,0:10:05.04,0:10:06.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,well with skinny ropes Once the ropes Dialogue: 0,0:10:06.88,0:10:09.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get slightly thicker to like Dialogue: 0,0:10:09.40,0:10:13.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,9.5 then Gri becomes unreliable It Dialogue: 0,0:10:13.04,0:10:16.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,starts locking up too much While pinch Dialogue: 0,0:10:16.08,0:10:18.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was working really well However the king Dialogue: 0,0:10:18.72,0:10:21.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the hill was Neox cuz it's pretty Dialogue: 0,0:10:21.68,0:10:24.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much designed to be blayed like this Dialogue: 0,0:10:24.40,0:10:26.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's incredibly smooth Even with the Dialogue: 0,0:10:26.72,0:10:30.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ropes up to like 10 mm it's still super Dialogue: 0,0:10:30.00,0:10:32.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smooth So if that's how you blay then Dialogue: 0,0:10:32.88,0:10:36.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Nox is your best blay device Okay Now Dialogue: 0,0:10:36.88,0:10:39.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one thing that I did not like about the Dialogue: 0,0:10:39.92,0:10:42.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pinch that it felt that it takes more Dialogue: 0,0:10:42.56,0:10:45.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,effort to pull the rope through I asked Dialogue: 0,0:10:45.44,0:10:47.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you guys and some of you said that Dialogue: 0,0:10:47.60,0:10:50.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually pinch is much smoother than gri Dialogue: 0,0:10:50.56,0:10:52.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However others said that pulling the Dialogue: 0,0:10:52.48,0:10:54.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rope through pinch feels like doing Dialogue: 0,0:10:54.40,0:10:57.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,chores So first I wanted to measure how Dialogue: 0,0:10:57.28,0:11:00.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,much internal friction each device has I Dialogue: 0,0:11:00.64,0:11:03.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,kept adding weights and checking when Dialogue: 0,0:11:03.04,0:11:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the rope started to slip First Dialogue: 0,0:11:06.00,0:11:09.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,observation was that my old grigy had Dialogue: 0,0:11:09.04,0:11:11.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,slightly lower friction compared to Dialogue: 0,0:11:11.36,0:11:13.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,brand new one This is probably due to Dialogue: 0,0:11:13.44,0:11:16.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smoothening and rounded edges and I Dialogue: 0,0:11:16.16,0:11:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,should probably retire this gri already Dialogue: 0,0:11:18.88,0:11:21.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and pinch depending on the rope had up Dialogue: 0,0:11:21.68,0:11:25.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to 30% more friction compared to a brand Dialogue: 0,0:11:25.28,0:11:27.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,new Griggree Now I was expecting that Dialogue: 0,0:11:27.76,0:11:30.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Neox will beat all of these devices Dialogue: 0,0:11:30.96,0:11:33.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,However that is surprising Turns out Dialogue: 0,0:11:33.92,0:11:37.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that my Neox had so much dust that the Dialogue: 0,0:11:37.04,0:11:40.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,wheel does not spin as smooth as it used Dialogue: 0,0:11:40.24,0:11:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to So I did buy a new Neox nice black Dialogue: 0,0:11:44.00,0:11:47.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one I like it And it is actually Dialogue: 0,0:11:47.64,0:11:52.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,significantly smoother It's crazy Dialogue: 0,0:11:57.96,0:12:01.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,smooth So I contacted Pzel and asked how Dialogue: 0,0:12:01.60,0:12:04.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to clean my old Neox And once I get a Dialogue: 0,0:12:04.80,0:12:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,response I will try and see if cleaning Dialogue: 0,0:12:07.48,0:12:11.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,helps or actually Neox's have some dirty Dialogue: 0,0:12:11.00,0:12:13.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,issues So I'm going to make a separate Dialogue: 0,0:12:13.44,0:12:15.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,video on that Now I did not want to rely Dialogue: 0,0:12:15.92,0:12:18.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on a single ugabooga test so I did Dialogue: 0,0:12:18.72,0:12:20.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,another one This time I wanted to Dialogue: 0,0:12:20.64,0:12:23.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,measure how much energy it takes to give Dialogue: 0,0:12:23.60,0:12:26.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one arm of slack To make things as equal Dialogue: 0,0:12:26.96,0:12:30.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as possible for the gri I used a tiny Dialogue: 0,0:12:30.16,0:12:32.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tiny carabiner This way the amount of Dialogue: 0,0:12:32.80,0:12:35.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rope pulled through all the devices is Dialogue: 0,0:12:35.60,0:12:38.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very similar And then I used a small Dialogue: 0,0:12:38.08,0:12:40.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,load cell to measure the forces over Dialogue: 0,0:12:40.64,0:12:44.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,time which should give me this value Dialogue: 0,0:12:44.48,0:12:47.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Man this is significantly harder Now as Dialogue: 0,0:12:47.20,0:12:49.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you can imagine having consistency in Dialogue:

0,0:12:56.24,0:12:58.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,data points to reach statistically Dialogue: 0,0:12:58.80,0:13:02.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,significant numbers Wow my shoulder is Dialogue:
