PSA - always do a safety check!
I witnessed a little “scary” situation yesterday at the gym.
A couple next to me was apparently having issues feeding the rope through the grigri and when I looked over I noticed that it had been loaded backwards!
I told the climber and said he should come down to get it fixed, meanwhile his partner had just released the break and her break hand, so the climber dropped from ~10ft.
No one was hurt and the climber was apologetic about not doing a safety check because he just trusted his girlfriend…
Anyways, the situation spooked me and I figured I would share!
Safe climbing out there! 🧗♀️
