I know it's just a picture -- a moment in time -- but there are several things wrong with this pic. Most troubling: 1. Though you don't necessarily need a hand on the brake for a Gri-gri to lock, there are a couple places where it absolutely must NOT be. One is the load strand. Applying force to the load strand prevents the Gri-gri from locking; it's one of the Gri-gri's many failure modes. The girl has both hands on the load strand. 2. Rather than attaching the Gri-gri to the girl's harness, somebody appears to have clipped it to a daisy-chain loop, which is only intended to hold body weight. The girl herself is also only anchored to a single daisy loop. There are several lesser problems with this system, too. It looks like a monkey set it up.

Just for the record. The quote you have attached to my name was not from me. I wouldn't write. you deleted a little too much from the quote... like the original author.
this is a prime example of why folks post anonymoulsy .... Nutbags

I think it is more common to actually say 6'3".

You "CAN" see the problem? Did you have to put quotes around that to let us know you didn't really mean it?
For using the shift key so much, you didn't use it a single time when you used the word "I"...
Did you learn your language skills from http://www.google.com/intl/xx-hacker/? I'll give you a hint; most people don't regularly type like that. It's probably not the best way to attempt to communicate online.
Prime example of someone who really should get outside and learn there is a world that exists around a computer screen instead of only in the computer screen.

According to your profile you like trad and sport.
"all styles of climbing appeal to me, as long as its not aide, and i think mountaineering is probably boring as well as ice climbing. bouldering, trad, sport. yeah. thats a good order. peace."
Both of those rely heavily on gear.

And please stop insulting people online.... and it is not even making any sense.
