Petzl - Grigri

The ‘industry standard’ assisted-braking belay device for indoor and outdoor sport climbers, updated again to ensure compatibility with the latest diameter ropes.

• 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: 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.
• A new cam design 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 security when lowering a partner or rappelling.
• Compact, light and durable.
• Stainless steel friction plate and cam to ensure a long service life.
• Diagrams for rope installation engraved on belay device (interior and exterior).
• 3-year warranty.

Rope diameter: 8.5 to 11mm (optimised for 8.9 to 10.5mm).
