Petzl GriGri Belay Device

Petzl GRIGRI Belay Device

The GRIGRI is the benchmark assisted braking belay device. Superb for sport climbing and wall use where the assisted braking takes the strain off your belayer when hanging on the rope, it also has applications anywhere that a single rope is in use.

Designed to be used in the same way as a conventional belay device with one hand always on the dead end of the rope, the Grigri’s assisted braking makes it much easier to hold a lead fall. It also makes it less tiring to hold a climber who is hanging on the rope. For this reason the Grigri is very popular with sport climbers the world over.

The GRIGRI works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. It may be used on all single dynamic 8.5 to 11 mm ropes on the market (ideal at 8.9 mm to 10.5 mm). Both compact and ultra-light, the GRIGRI 2 will accompany you on climbs around the world for many years. The GRIGRI has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent.

• Weight: 175g
• Belay technique identical to classic belay systems: both hands on the rope. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope.
• Assisted braking capability: during fall arrest, the belayer holds the free end of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope, increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding.
• The GRIGRI has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope. In combination with the strong braking action of the cam, it gives a great feeling of control when lowering a partner or rappelling.
