    Last weekend I took a couple friends to the local crag for their first time out. Since I was the only one able to clean, others led and set the anchor, but on occasion if the leader were unable to reach the anchors, I would set the anchor and belayed the others up from the top using a grigri. That worked pretty well, though I'm aware that Petzl doesn't recommend using the grigri in such a manner (a redirected belay is preferred.) I did notice that the DMM Pivot set up in guide/auto-blocking mode had a dedicated method for lowering — using a second biner to adjust the angle of the device. Are there concerns with doing so for lowering a second climber all the way to the ground? Whenever lowering is mentioned, it's always in the context is lowering the second "a few feet" or so.

    Figured I ought to do a #introduction so here it is:I'm into #climbing and love messing around on rocks. #Trad or #SportClimbing even #bouldering .I also climb indoors #climbinggym where I do most of my instructing. I'm a qualified instructor and coach for both indoor and (fairly newly qualified) outdoor climbing, so if if you're looking to get into climbing or improve, feel free to get in touch. Other than that, I'm a massive geek, love #rpg and in a previous life, I did all kinds of #IT for a living.
