PETZL GRIGRI® + – The Belay Device Optimised for Learning & Top Rope Climbing
The PETZL GRIGRI® +is a feature-rich belay device with cam-assisted blockingthat sets a new standard for safety and ease of use, making it particularly well-suited for both learning belay techniquesand intensive top rope climbing. This versatile device is ideal for climbers of all levels in the UK, whether in the gym or out on the crag.
The GRIGRI® + stands out with its anti-panic handle. This crucial safety feature makes it exceptionally well-suited for beginners and for belay training, as it locks up if the handle is pulled too far back, preventing uncontrolled descents. Its cam-assisted blockingprovides a significant mechanical advantage, making it easier to hold a fall and control a descent.
This device is the ideal belay device for top rope climbing, featuring a specific mode that makes it easier to take up slack. This dedicated mode simplifies belaying, ensuring a smoother and more efficient experience for both belayer and climber.
Built for durability, the GRIGRI® + is reinforced for intensive use, capable of withstanding the rigours of frequent climbing sessions. It is designed to be used with a wide range of single ropes, from 8.5 to 11 mmin diameter, offering broad compatibility for various climbing disciplines.
