Petzl GRIGRI Belay Device – Red/ Orange

Compact and lightweight, it can be used with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm. The assisted braking function improves comfort while belaying, holding a climber or catching a fall. The design of the handled camming mechanism enables exceptional descent control.

Features

• Belay device with cam-assisted blocking, designed for the gym and crag:
  – Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using standard belay techniques, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope
  – Cam-assisted blocking for a more comfortable belay: when the climber falls or weights the rope, it tightens, making the cam pivot to pinch and block the rope
  – Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the ropes
  – Rope installation diagram engraved on both the inside and outside the device
• Comfortable and convenient when lowering:
  – The ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
  – Progressive control of rope feed provides a smooth and comfortable descent
  – 3:1 mechanical advantage of the handled camming mechanism helps control rope feed on small-diameter ropes and requires less effort on the handle for large-diameter ropes
• Intended for all users:
  – Simple to use for belaying both lead and top rope climbers
  – Optimally balanced design: lightweight (175 g), compact, and durable
  – Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
