Whether you like it or not, what you choose to belay with betrays a lot about you.

    You should add on to grigri “I’m a lazy bitch that can’t go ten mins without smoking a cigarette so I can only devote one hand towards belaying you”

    [...] What Your Belay Device Says About You – Gri gri – I climb 5.12 bitch. Cinch – Can you handle my infinite nature? [...]

  • Taylor fucking Haring said:

    Dumb. Rocking a Gri-Gri tells a wall rat like me two things: 1: you sport climb too much to ever accomplish anything significant on rock, and 2: you have no idea how to escape a belay when your leader gets slammed on the head while on a wall.

    Oh, and climbing 5.12 doesn’t mean you “climb hard.” It means you don’t climb 5.13, and therefore don’t climb hard.

    You tossers.

  • limit (author) said:

    5.13 hasn’t been hard since like 1983. Wanker.

  • r1skate said:

    I am ALL for the 8. Got one just like it. Rapping & belay device. It rules! Gri gri’s I call gay gays. HELLO

  • darmo said:

    Maybe the ATC ought to say “I climb mountains in snow and rain. I climb trad, sport, do rescues and I rappel.”

  • Stephen said:

    well that makes me feel like a girl lol, but i have only been climbing for a few months

  • Brenden said:

    Where’s the hip belay fit in???

  • Brenden said:

    or at least the stitch plate

  • WTF said:

    Wow! I thought all you hippie types were supposed to be laid back. Here you all are talking crap like your a bunch of cage fighters or something. YOU CLIMB ROCKS! Get over yourselves and lighten the hell up. You should be happy that new people are joining your sport.

  • Tasha said:

    Dear WTF,
    Are you kidding me? We just climb rocks, no we do not just climb rocks, we risks our asses, learn to work as a team/partners enjoy nature, and do something healthy.
    The people on this site are joshing around with other climbers…
    So why dont you go kick a ball around, and feel like the macho athlete you are.

  • Evan said:

    You should add to the ATC: “I’ve never seen any of these other belay devices before.”

    Because I rock an ATC, and I’ve never seen any of those other belay devices before xD

  • Davis said:

    what about the MUNTER HITCH??

  • clayton said:

    Belay??? I just wrap the rope around my waist a couple times and hold on!

  • ashan said:

    what about the atc guide?
