Petzl Grigri Belay Device description The Petzl Grigri Belay Device's self-locking system has made it a staple item at sport crags from Smith to Rifle to the Ceuse. Its internal cam locks when a sharp pull occurs to help you catch your partner's monster whipper when he skips one clip and botches the next. It also makes it much more comfortable to hold tension while he hangs and works out the moves. Aid climbers love the Grigri for belaying long A4 leads. The Petzl Grigri Belay Device's lever releases the cam to allow smooth lower. *Rated for ropes from 10 to 11mm. |
Simply the best!!
LuvDaCrux: 
I borrowed a friends Grigri. I wanted to teach someone about climbing, but at the same time I did NOT want to take a fatal chance with a newbie belaying me. I showed him how to use the device, and how to always make sure he was watching me and what to do if I fell. I felt confident in him belaying me and ended up trying some dynos due to the fact that it was a self locking device. I fell in love with the thing when we both realized how simple it is to lower someone with it. If you want the best device out there, here it is.
Good for beginners... and yet.
Desert Backpacker: 
I like the auto locking feature for beginner climbers/belayers, it's a great safety feature. I just worry, and my personal experience confirms that, using a Grigri or other auto-locking device makes people lazy and careless: taking break hands off the rope, not watching the climber, or worse. I suggest weaning the beginner off the use of these devices very quickly.
Still works with smaller ropes
McJ:
I'm a huge fan of the gri gri, I use a smaller rope (9.6) so it flows pretty easy through and the catching mechanism has no problem. I've even used it on a 9.3 and the catching mechanism works just fine. The standard 10.5 ropes aren't quite as smooth through the device but its an awesome safety.
