I completely understand the risk that the rope can invert or jam in guide mode on an atc style device. But I was wondering if that is really possible on something like an ATC Guide Alpine using one or two 9mm ropes. This question largely relates to the application of using a guide mode style for LRS, but more so for alpine missions where pitches are short and not too steep and chance of falling is already low and the device can be easily backed up with regular clove hitched cache loops. Many climbers (me included) already tolerate a lot of risk in alpine scenarios such as simul climbing or just straight soloing, so I'm wondering if the risk of using a device that is often warned against using for LRS can be made managble and on possibly even safe than something like simuling by minimising the factors leading to failures and backing the device up.

I go climbing at my gyms in TC pros so when I fail to send a V2 every knows that I'm not a bad climber, but I actually just climb trad which makes me better than everyone else there.
