Do you wear socks while rock climbing?

What is the difference between GriGri and GriGri+?
GriGri & GriGri+ Differences At quick glance The Grigri+ looks very similar to the standard Grigri but it does have a few additional features that sets it apart. One small addition is a steel plate on the right side where the rope runs while lowering. There are two settings: top rope and lead mode.
What is the difference between GriGri 1 and 2?

I have a 1, and it works great, on a brand new rope there is slippage, but on 90% of ropes it works perfectly.
