Petzl GRIGRI cam-assisted blocking belay device

Does it need an introduction? The GRIGRI sets the standard for belay devices. In the gym or at the crag, it makes belaying easier with cam-assisted blocking. Equipped with an ergonomic handle, providing easy control for a smooth and comfortable descent for the climber. Compact and lightweight, it can be used with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm. Perfect for working your project!

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 of 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

• Simple to use for belaying both lead and top-rope climbers 
• Optimally balanced design: lightweight (175 g), compact, and durable
