Product Description

 
Allows belaying and lowering of a climbereven where the latter is heavier than the belayer. A handle allows easy control of the device and smooth running of the rope.

The GRIGRI can improve safety in climbing as can the seat-belt in a car, because it jams when tension comes on the rope.

Date of Review:  Jul 7, 2009
Review: I've been climbing for 7 years, and got into sport climbing 4 years ago. I got sick of having to lock the rope off on my DMM bug whilst my partner hung on a bolt and worked out moves, so tried out a gri-gri. They're much better to use, as you don't...

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 1999
Review: The Petzl Grigri is designed to be a self actuating belay device. If the correct size rope is fed through the device slowly, as while a belayed climber is moving up the rock, the device allows the rope to move unhindered. If the rope moves too...

At least it's probably saved some lives.

Review: Ok, think about your seatbelt in your car for a second.

Basically the GriGri is based on the same concept. When there's a sudden jerk of the rope the GriGri "locks up." And like a seatbelt the GriGri has probably caused alot of accidents...
