A few indeed though not sure what you're planning.

 

You can't climb with a gri gri really, as there is no real neutral gear, so pantin/footlocking would be out of the question unless using some sort of rads system. Though then you'd be 3:1 and defeating the point of SRT.

 

You could belay/descend on a gri gri, I'm not sure of the safety/rating for using it as a sole work positioning system. A gri gri wouldn't need a wrench as it works fine on its own for belaying.

 

I use my grillon singled out with an add in prussik for anchorage when climbing above my anchor point, this works nicely for me as you get the full length of rope, as opposed to half of it if you were using side d's etc. You just have to be gentle with the release, otherwise it can be a bit jerky. It's best if you have one with the additional belay handle.

 

Does that make sense Andrew?:confused1:
