I understand the old version of this had issues with cross-loading the carabiner while using the Grigri. In this improved version, the built-up rim keeps the Grigri from slipping down the spine, and the gate at the bottom keeps the biner facing outward while attached to your belay loop. The triple lock gate is very smooth and easy once you get used to it, and very reliable.
