The Petzl GriGri belay device includes assisted blocking for belaying, whether at the gym or at the crag.
The cam-assisted blocking system makes belaying simpler and more convenient when catching a fall or belaying a climber working a route. The handled camming mechanism allows excellent descent control. This compact and lightweight Petzl belay device is compatible with all single ropes from 8.5mm to 11mm diameter.
Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using standard belay techniques, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope
Easier belaying, thanks to its cam-assisted blocking: when the climber falls or is at rest, the rope tightens, making the cam pivot to pinch and block the rope
Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the ropes

Simple to use for belaying both lead and top-rope climbers
Optimally balanced design: lightweight, compact and durable
Compatible with all 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
