Grigri+ Phone Mount

This is great, I am an influencer so one of my biggest issues with belaying is that it takes valuable time from checking my socials. I have been just living with it but talk about innovation, this is the product I didn't know I needed!

Will it work while I'm aid soloing? I hate having to pull my phone out of my pocket on lead to Google if I'm doing it right or not. 

If climber and belayer aren't familiar with route beta by the time the person is climbing, I can tell you the beta is NOT the issue--its the lackadaisical party.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Worst idea ever, if you are new enough to climbing that youre using the gumby, grigri+ then you are not experienced enough to use a phone while climbing. Period. i yell at any kid in the gym who is new to the sport and using their phone, i can tell who is new because they have the new belay tags that the gym hands out now with their updated logo.  if you werent around when the logo had a cute little frog on it, the i absolutely know you arent ready to belay and text simultaneously like i am! end of story!

Googling “how to place a pecker” can lead to some interesting search results ...

Hold up - why is the GriGr+ a Gumby device?

the + makes it that you can’t drop someone while scrolling through your iPhone

real climbers use the og gri gri like men, not this pansy ‘protect the climber’ so called safety device

grigri 1 and an 8.5mm rope is the only way to go. smoothest action so you can scroll your phone easily

It will only be a Gumby device if the user doesn't have a sick phone holder attachment!

Ya, I was gonna say that OP is 3 months early with his idea launch.

I really hope this is a very elaborate troll.

NOT a troll, but I do have a simpler solution... this way it does not matter on the belay device...

No one talks on the phone anymore. It's all about the 'gram now.

Since you won't be needing belay glasses anymore (too hard to look down at the screen), just put em over your phone's camera

Can I rope solo with this?

2/10

I am disappointed in myself that I can’t tell if this is a top notch troll or serious wackjob.   The suspense is killing me.  

I didn’t expect this much interest and contribution! Both comical and realistic lol

The GoPro idea is definitely worth playing with before you knock it. We’re playing with streaming from the climbers GoPro to belayer’s GriGri if the distance isn’t too far. Pretty neat to see FP view from the climber while belaying.
