Petzl GriGri Belay device with cam-assisted blocking

Description

The cam-assisted blocking function makes belaying more convenient when a climber is working a route or when catching a fall. The design of the handled camming mechanism enables exceptional descent control. Compact and lightweight, it can be used with all single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm.

• 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
• easier belaying, thanks to its cam-assisted blocking: when the climber falls or is at rest, the rope 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
• Exceptional convenience when lowering:
• the ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
• easily controlled and progressive rope feed provides 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 all 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
