You are using ODI Rogues/ruffians, both well padded compared to these bontragers. Where do you find that you have any knowledge on the situation?
blather, blather, blather. palm pressure isn't the worry for cutting hand circulation.

rogues, and particularly ruffian grips are not that padded.

again, you are missing out on what i'm trying to say. read carefully:

depending on your grips to prevent hand fatigue while descending means you're doing something wrong otherwise. grips are a very, very small part of the overall equation.
