Petzl GriGri 2 Belay Device Gray

Petzl GRIGRI 2 belay device with assisted braking capability is designed to facilitate belay maneuvers. The GRIGRI 2 works equally well for lead climbing and top-roping. It may be used on all single dynamic 8.9 to 11 mm ropes on the market optimized for 9.4 mm to 10.3 mm ropes. The belay technique is identical to classic belay technique and the assisted braking capability facilitates arresting falls. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope. During fall arrest the belayer holds the free end of the rope the cam pivots and pinches the rope increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding. The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope.
