GRIGRI

Belay device with assisted braking

The GRIGRI's assisted braking system helps the belayer catch and hold a climber, making it great for working routes. Works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. Ergonomic design makes for smooth, controllable lowers. Also great for rappelling on single ropes - perfect for setting and cleaning routes.

• Assisted 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:
  
  - paying out rope is done using both hands
  
  - arresting a fall is done 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).


• For use with single ropes between 10 and 11 mm in diameter
