I also think that the structural distinction between the ClickUp and standard assisted-braking tubes, such as the Smart or Mega Jul, is an important variable. The lack of a designed thumb-catch or ergonomic method to momentarily hold the ClickUp open while paying out slack often necessitate an awkwa

I know what you mean, some devices have more active assisted braking like the GriGri and others are more passive. That sucks, it definitely seems like a lot of indoor centres are heading in that direction which is frustrating because I've been belaying with an ATC for years, it's what those same cen

That is a fair assessment. Ascending the rope or hauling a climber under tension is arguably the scenario where the GriGri's mechanical advantage is most apparent. For my own routine, I still find myself reaching for the ClickUp simply because it feeds rope so smoothly. When belaying top-ropers or l
