The Petzl Neox

Is no one going to talk about that second angle in the barn?

[macd]

We have two Neoxes in our group, and I can tell you that it's actually worse than a Grigri if the rope is stiff (new rope, cut resistant, etc). The wheel locks up sporadically which is annoying as hell. With the grigri the resistance is more even, which is a lot less annoying. With a soft rope is smooth as butter though.

I tried the Neox (only twice so far). I can give slack way faster with any other device. Honestly I think this thing is a gimmick. Yes, I may need more practice, but my Edelrid Mega Jul is a fifth of the price, has the same safety features, weighs less, and can do more functions.

Dont teach your belayer how to belay you well, better spend 200 dollars on a new device

That second angle in the barn was crazy

[derekatwood]

Petzl made the neox because they were sick of everyone using the grigri wrong. Cant just pinch it and be lazy anymore. I have the neox and i love it.

I think the intended purpose is another. The gri-gri tends to lock when giving rope. Untrained belayer keep it close with the braking hand and this caused ground falls (often not serious as there is a lot of friction in the system already).

"Im pumping out." Yea, no kidding 😅

[monsterlynx]

Man i love you're videos keep on climbing

[emptyclud]

I have the neox but prefer the grigri when feeding out slack fast for high clips. I can fast feed with the grigri with 1 hand, but with the neox if the climber pulls before I can feed the rope the wheel locks and it becomes harder to feed rope. Harder climbs I just go back to the grigri but inside the gym with old rope neox is the way to go.

I just don't want to imagine how much pressure you get on your balls when you fall💀☠️

Tbh I think this is not the right direction for belaying devices cause it doesn’t incentivize the belayer to be actually good at what he is doing! Most of the modern devices already make it very easy to feed out rope while still rewarding Perfektion in the belaying technique and dynamic belaying. If you have a belay partner like this maby you should consider helping them improve their technique:)

We didn't have those fancy gadgets back in the day... We used a good old Sticht plate....

[KelvinClimber]

well ive been using the birdie and it works quite well for me, but sometimes i need to tell people that i belay, that the belay device i use if they panick and drag the rope super fast than it kinda work against the device as it is than the automatic blocking function often takes place, but i cannot comment on this device as i have never used it

"as long as you keep the hand on the brake strand", meaning it's essentially a tubular device without the option of using guide mode? It's not assisted?

[goatvidds]

How do you get down from things like this and get all your equipment

[johnparla]

Love the post and beam barn 🧗‍♂️🧗‍♂️🍺👍

[SteveMcMief]

Gaswerk Methode for Grigri? Ever heard of that?

[SagittariusSara]

We can also use gri gri it's super easy to use

[icaremore]

And it it doesn’t work, you can toss it at your belayer causing massive blunt force trauma. 😊
