hey dodgy... I've tried it all and I have the answer! (I'm really surprized I'm the first to bring it up!) Get yourself an "USHBA" ascender!!! I did the Gri-Gri as well and it wore me out quickly. It is a belay device only! one trick I figured out when using an USHBA is tie your approach shoes or a pair of sneakers on the rope about 4 feet off the ground and it will travel smoothly up the rope compared to any ascender! I also must mention (for safety sake) if you are climbing a full length of rope (60m top-rope) then throw a couple knots in behind you just in case. It's also quite easy to rap down... just throw on the gri-gri when you are ready to come down!
