Is that an old heron grip?
It looks similar to some of the ones I have seen in the past.

It's actually rubber and has a variation of the hose clamps that keep your car radiator hoses from leaking. Heron did get the design from ASW (remember, he bought the comany's lift division) so he continued to use it until he came up with his own design.

I was suprised when I skied Loveland yesterday to see that chair 4 there still uses this grip style. Based on the marks sprayed on the haul rope it appears that there is very little grip slipage with this style. Is that the case or were they just rescently moved?

It's odd that it isn't, what with the rubber 'needles' rather than the more modern steel ones. One reason is that the modern clamp grip has very little material protruding below the haul rope but the Heron rubber grip has lots.
