"And thus dissolute men abandon themselves to excesses which cause them fever and death, because the mind perverts the senses and because the will still speaks when nature is silent."
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau
It doesn't. Nothing released by those guys ever does. None of these climbing companies ever test anything. I just make my own climbing gear. My last belay device involved duct taping my pocketknife to my belt loop and wrapping the rope around the blade. I'm still trying to find a tester... Kneebar, you in?
The guy on News View actually did a short segment about this. He found out some pretty interesting stuff about it. I think it's somewhere around the beginning or the middle of the video where he talks about the new Gri for a minute or two. You should definitely check it out:
"It is difficult to estimate the potential damage of solvents; therefore the middle of the rope should never be marked with a felt-tip pen or similar. Although a danger might be improbable, it should never be ignored." Mammut
