The engineers over at Petzl must never be satisfied, because while the Grigri is already a best-seller, and perhaps the most popular assisted braking belay device on the market, the Grigri + Belay Device offers a smoother, safer performance than its predecessors. Petzl promises your rope—as long as it isn't skinnier than 8. 9mm—will slide through t... morehe device so smoothly that you won't have to place your thumb over the brake in order to dish out slack, so you can belay with this device in the same way that you would a standard tube device. Petzl integrated an anti-panic locking system that will lock the Grigi + up when overzealous beginners—or advanced climbers for that matter—pull down on the brake's handle too hard. The most unique feature has to be a new switch on the side that allows you to switch from top rope belaying to lead belaying. In lead belay, the Grigri + works very similarly to the previous Grigri models. In top rope belay, this device stiffens the brake so it bites the rope better when your climber is taking.
Features: Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using standard belay techniques, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope Cam-assisted blocking for a more comfortable belay: when the climber falls or weights the rope, it tightens, making the cam pivot to pinch and block the rope Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the bra... moreke-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the ropes Rope installation diagram engraved on both the inside and outside of the device Ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone Progressive control of rope feed provides a smooth and comfortable descent 3:1 Mechanical advantage of the handled camming mechanism helps control rope feed on small-diameter ropes and requires less effort on the handle for large-diameter ropes Anti-panic handle: if the user pulls too hard on the handle, the anti-panic function engages Lockable selector knob allows you to choose either top rope or lead belay mode; top-rope belay mode makes taking in slack easier and belaying more comfortable Stainless steel wear plate provides great durability for intensive use Specs: Weight: 200 g Rope compatibility: 8.5 to 11 mm single rope Material : Aluminum side plates, stainless steel friction plate, cam and wear plate, reinforced nylon handle
