Petzl Grigri

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
  • Rope installation diagram engraved on both the interior and exterior of the device
• Comfortable and convenient when lowering:
  
  • The ergonomic handle allows you to easily lower someone
  • 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 or top-rope climbers
  • Optimally balanced design: lightweight (175 g), compact and durable
  • Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
