Petzl Grigri Belay Device Blue, One Size

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve been using the Grigri for years and it’s still my top pick for sport climbing. The assisted braking gives me confidence when belaying heavier partners, and the smooth feed makes it great for lead climbing. I also like that it’s compact enough to toss in my pack and forget about until I need it. There’s a reason this is the most trusted belay device in gyms and crags around the world.""Whether we’re clipping bolts at the crag or teaching new climbers in the gym, the Petzl Grigri Belay Device is the go-to tool we trust with our climbing partners’ safety. Built with an assisted braking mechanism, the Grigri provides added control in the event of a fall, catching the rope smoothly and securely. Its compact design and intuitive handling have made it a mainstay on our harness loop. This latest version is optimized for a wider range of ropes—from 8. 5 to 11mm—and features a stainless steel cam and friction plate for long-lasting durability. The ergonomic brake handle gives us precise control when lowering a partner, even on overhanging routes or when rappelling. For seasoned climbers and dedicated belayers, the Grigri remains the standard."
