GRIGRI Self-braking belay device Petzl's Grigri Belay Device can improve safety in climbing the way a seat-belt does in a car because it jams when tension comes on the rope. ot recommended for new belayers. The Grigri is a belaying device for the leader or second on ropes 10 to 11 mm in diameter. Great for Challenge ropes course programs, climbing routes, group belays and team belaying. This popular belay device is perfect for top-roping, gym-climbing and sport-climbing. As a climber moves upward the slow rope movement runs freely but when a fall occurs the shock load initiates the braking cam and stops the fall. For lowering a climber you operate the handle so as to unjam the rope and control the climbers descent with your free hand. We know of at least one incident at local crags where the Grigri prevented an accident because of it's autolock feature. We won't go sport climbing without one. It might be a little expensive compared to an ATC, but the security it gives is worth every penny. *Sold in assorted colors. Device for belaying a leader or a second and for single rope descents. 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, 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).| Material: | Aluminum | | Auto Locking: | Yes | | Strength: | 22kN | | Recommended use: | Belay situations, vertical sports | | Weight: | 225g | | Warranty: | Limited |
