Petzl GriGri Belay Device

If you're considering buying a grigri, you should stop reading this and buy a grigri. Every climbing gym you go to will use one. Most places that teach you to lead climb will teach you with a grigri. There are advantages and disadvantages to other belay devices, both assisted braking and not but the grigri is the gold standard and very safe. The grigri + is good if you'll be setting up lots of top ropes or will be climbing often with new climbers who have never belayed before but in my opinion it's not worth the extra cost.

Grigri is awesome device and totally worth it, btw I couldn’t find cheaper than the price they offer here , so just go for it !

Simply the best. Don't look further.

A more perfected version of the previous grigris. Lighter , smaller and just as easy to use.

The best belay device, i have used atc, smart, revo, click up, nothing beats grigri, once you mastered it. It is famous for a reason, ( i used to think a cheap atc is enough for the job, but, once i used few more times and once, your climb more, accidence might occur, and grigri saved my and my partner's life few times, ( once from a falling rock, my partner got hit and passed out, lucky grigri was holding me ) .

Classic belay device, most people at the crag are familiar with it so that they can safely belay you!

Great at giving slack if you know how to, locks up emideatly if you put wheigth on the break rope. The orange anodized aluminum is so good looking andthere is no slippage when it's locked up.

After a few months of use, along with Birdy, I can say that Birdy is better for me. GriGri is great but they did a perfect job at Beal. I would especially single out the feeling in my hands.

Best Devices hands down. Good for belay and rap.

Having used the older 2 and plus models I love this new version 3. It feeds a little easier for lead belaying and decent control is much better. Recommended!

This was my first experience with a belay device with assisted breaking and it definitely feels secure. Can recommend it to anyone, especially if you are climbing with less experience people.

Sin duda la mejor opción en cuanto aseguradores. En esta web encontré el mejor precio.

It's a grigri and does all the things you expect. But I find this model a bit of a pain to lead belay with when using a thicker rope and actually don't bother using my grigri for lead belay at all anymore because of this.

With thinner ropes it still works totally as expected and it is probably noted somewhere on rope thicknesses but the previous grigri's I've used didn't suffer from this with the exact same ropes.

It's a really good belay device that runs smothly. And the safety feature of having a belay device with assisted breaking is really nice, especially for someone like me who belays several houres on end for work.

Works just as good as my old Gri-Gri 1.
Was waiting for Petzl to realize that the small handle on the gri-gri2 was uncomfortable - lo and behold the new Gri-Gri. It's perfect!

Bought it for helping my girlfriend belay me without a risk of accident the new grigribis lighter and handle a bigger range or ropes so can use it with my experienced friends and my girlfriend

Its the grigri and made in France, that really all you need to know.

Everything you would expect from the most popular belay device out there! Light smooth and great for the belayer while your partner is working a route, aka just sitting there at the clip for half an hour.
My partner only liked tubular devices and never liked grigris at gyms and from other people but is somehow sold to this new iteration, for me it feels the same.

What can I say? It's a GriGri at a great price. I have the older version but this one allows for wider ropes. Moves smoothly and is about $100 cheaper than you can buy in Canada.

Overall this is essentially a GriGri+ without the gimmicky features that the + has, in a similar package as the GriGri2.

The biggest change I like is the lowering is much better than the GriGri2.

I really like this simply the best belay device and it is really great for sport climbing and it's lighter than I imagined before. I really like it in orange colour.

This is the first GriGri that I own, though I have used all other GriGri models when climbing in gyms or with friends.
I am completely pleased with the new GriGri, it looks and feels almost identical to the GriGri2, but has a few slight improvements, most importantly the ability to handle thinner ropes (up to 8.5mm).
Overall it feels very familiar to anyone who has used any GriGri before.
Also, price was great on epic.tv so it is definitely worth buying over a GriGri 2.
Totally recommended!!

This belay device is one of the best! It has great characteristics and is easy to use!

A really nice upgrade to the Grigri 2. Same great quality as always just seems to be tweaked in a couple of very nice ways to make everything feel a bit better all around.

The best belay device is better now. Great equipment and fast shipping.

the all new GriGri is by far the best thay have produced i totally recommend this product to anyone who is competent with all other grigri devices

Not only is this a very nice object but when I'm climbing with less experienced people I don't worry not about being killed as if they panic and let go it will still hold me

This is a great product that is easy to use and very comfortable. Great for lead climbing! Ordered to Canada as the price is much lower on this site, while being the same product. Will definitely return to order off the EpicTV Shop!

This new model is very similar to the GriGri 2, but with some improvements. The handle is larger wich makes it easier to descend your partner smoothly, and it weights a little less wich is always nice for carrying.

The cam is better designed to be used with 9-ish mm ropes, wich is nice for intermediate/advanced sport climbers. Even so, the recommended diameters zone goes all the way up to 10.5mm , so i guess it should be good with those too (I tested with 9.5mm).

If you are a sport climber with some experience in need for a new automatic belay device, this is definitely a good choice.

If you are a begginer, you may want to check the GriGri+, that comes with extra safety features for you and your rope, and it even has a "top-rope" mode.

great product, super safe
