Belay device with assisted braking, for a broad range of single rope diameters (8.5 to 11 mm), designed for the experienced belayer
Designed for the experienced belayer, the GRIGRI is a belay device with cam-assisted braking designed for belaying both in the gym and at the crag. Compact and lightweight, it can be used with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm. The assisted braking function improves comfort while belaying, holding a climber or catching a fall. The design of the handled camming mechanism enables exceptional descent control.
Belay device with assisted braking, compatible with a broad range of single rope diameters, for both gym and crag:
Feeding slack and catching falls are done using standard belay techniques; always keep 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. Holding the brake side of the rope helps engage the cam, therefore it is important to always hold the brake side of 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

Grigri is the standard for belay devices for a reason. The store even found a matching carabiner as a gift for the birthday boy who just turned old enough to climb a top rope.

A very good, reliable and functional belay device if you spend more time on the top rope.

A functional and reliable belay device.
If used as designed, the climber is better secured and safer in my opinion, compared to ATC.
