PETZL GRIGRI + - Cam-Assisted Belay Device

The camming mechanism of the Progressive Descent Control provides a smooth 3:1 mechanical advantage to control the rope and reduce the effort required for lowering, regardless of the diameter of the rope. This feature ensures a comfortable belay, as the cam automatically cinches down to arrest the rope when the climber falls or weights the rope, and is compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes.

In addition to the cam-assisted blocking, the anti-panic handle engages if the user pulls too hard, stopping the climber's descent. This is particularly useful for newer belayers and partners with large weight differences.

The device also offers multiple belay modes, with a lockable selector knob allowing the user to choose between top rope or lead belay mode. The top rope belay mode makes it easier to take in slack and provides greater comfort during long belay sessions.

Furthermore, the GRIGRI is equipped with a steel wear plate near the brake side of the rope, providing extra protection for the high-wear area. This feature enhances the durability and longevity of the device.

Overall, the GRIGRI's Progressive Descent Control, cam-assisted blocking, anti-panic handle, multiple belay modes, and steel wear plate make it a reliable and efficient tool for climbers, providing enhanced safety and ease of use. With its versatile features, the GRIGRI is a valuable addition to any climber's gear collection.
