PETZL - GRIGRI 2, Belay Device with Assisted Braking, Gray

Designed for experienced climbers, the GRIGRI 2 belay device with assisted braking is designed to facilitate belay maneuvers. Both compact and lightweight, it is used with dynamic single 9.4 to 10.3 mm diameter ropes (possible with 8.9 mm to 11 mm diameters). The assisted braking improves belay comfort when working a route and when arresting a fall. DURABLE MATERIAL: The GRIGRI 2 is made of aluminum side plates, stainless steel cam and friction plate, and a reinforced nylon handle. ROPE COMPATIBILITY: Optimally used on all 9.4 to 10.3 mm dynamic single ropes (possible for 8.9 mm to 11 mm ropes). EASY TO USE: The GRIGRI 2 uses the same hand motions as with classic belay systems: both hands on the rope. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope. LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT: New progressive descent control system the GRIGRI 2 is 20% lighter and 25% smaller. ASSISTED BRAKING: One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope.
