This Petzl invention has revolutionized techniques for descending and belaying in rock-climbing. As big a safety improvement as the seat belt is in motoring, it allows a climber to be belayed and lowered off. When necessary, the GriGri also allows you to lock off the rope. The design of the GriGri limits its use to indoor climbing or well equipped sport routes. It is used with a single dynamic UIAA 10-11mm rope (9.7mm permitted). Individually tested. Weight: 225 g. CE Note: The GriGri, in spite of its important contribution to security, does not free the belayer from his or her responsibility to watch the leader. As for any belay device or descender, training is essential before use. When a fall occurs, the pulley turns on its axis and squeezes the rope, causing a braking effect. It is, however, essential to retain a light grip on the free end of the rope. The handle is used to un-jam the rope for lowering the climber. Attention: any time you unlock the device, you must keep a firm hold on the free rope.
