Anybody using Beal Birdie for lead climbing? What’s your thoughts?
A birdie is like a worse grigri by most measures. It weighs 1 ounce more, doesnt feed any better, and doesnt have a progressive lowering handle which makes the lower less smooth. It is cheaper but I would not recommend it or the madrock lifeguard. They are inferior to grigri and its other clones Dep

I'd recommend anything with assisted breaking, whether that's a GriGri, NEOX, Pinch, Smart, Mega/Gigajul or anything else that's rated for it. I haven't really got on well with the Trango Vergo or Wild Country Revo, but just about any other assisted breaking device works well for me
