Petzl Grigri

Petzl Grigri self-braking belay device & descender for single ropes

The Petzl GRIGRI's self-braking function helps the belayer catch and hold a climber, making it great for working routes. Works equally well for lead climbing and toproping. The Grigri's ergonomic design makes for smooth, controllable lower. Also great for rappelling on single ropes & perfect for setting and cleaning routes.

• Self-braking system: if the rope suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall), the cam pivots to pinch the rope, thus helping the belayer stop the climber's fall

• Usage is similar to that of conventional belay devices

  • giving/taking slack is done by using both hands to slide the rope through the device
  • falls are held by holding the free end of the rope with the brake hand
  • for lowering and rappelling, the rate of descent is controlled by the hand holding the free end of the rope (the rope is released with the handle)
