Petzl micrograb for me. And I climb a ton of big boring white spruce with lots of sap. It's more the wire core that gets gummed up and the grab never has issues.
That's what I ended up ordering. I got the bigger one, as I've got a 5/8" Maxiflip I like to use when It's rainy, so we'll see if it works on a fuzzed up 1/2" too. I'll report back
So I've used the new unit on a few climbs so far. I like it. It's different, It's clunky, but very secure, and the slack tending is the cat's ass. I've got to say, that while I though the offset attachment hole would be a big plus, the weight of the wire core tail pulls it down anyways. The cool this about it is the slack tending is the same motion as it was with my previous setup. On the whole I like it a lot. Seems to work well w/ my 1/2" and 5/8" wire cores.
