Here’s just a quick video showing some lifeguard against the Grigri – I’d seen a lot of videos out. There were, but nothing it was really kind of a closeup comparison. It was only still photos so anyway, as you can see, Gregory’s a pretty small, pretty nice size. This mat rocks obviously a lot smaller a little bit lighter it’s funny to hold it your hand. You’d swear at least I swear that it’s heavier, but it’s not I put it on the kitchen scale and it is as advertised 154 grams. So functionally the devices are the same.

Really you know, classic gris-gris got your rope to your brake hand. Coming out this way, your camming device comes up brake lever, brake lever on the greevey does come back it a little bit more of an angle, see that against the same cam same direction, rub to the brake hand, rope to the climber come out that way, and then this lever is actually a little bit we’re spring-loaded. So it really does snap back if you let it yeah.

My name is Justin Roth and I’m with Petzl. The Grigri – is a great choice for whether your top roping or your lead, climbing in the gym or at the crags. The assistant braking function, makes a lot of the functions of belaying much much more pleasant to perform. We’re almost to 25 years. Since the original gris-gris was launched by far the best-known most visible belay device that that we have made the difference in weight and size is the Grigri ii model is smaller and 20% lighter than the original gris-gris.

A wider range of ropes, including going to a much smaller diameter than the original gris-gris, did down to 8 9, it’s more in keeping with the types of ropes that people are using today and with a new handle, lowering mechanism that makes it easier to gradually release the rope and make a really smooth lower. It’s a more pleasant kind of all-around belaying experience, in my opinion, for the majority of users that are looking to get their first or second belay device to be fair.

If your goal is to do a lot of multi-pitch climbing, this probably shouldn’t be your first blade of ice, slash only belay device, because you can’t do a double rope rappel. But if your goal is to do you know, cracking gym climbing what most people do I think the Grigri is an ideal first or second belay device. It handles like the tube style devices that that most people get as their first. It uses the same kind of hand technique for the majority of its operation.

So you don’t have to learn a new way if you switch from one device to the other. But of course it offers the assistive braking function, which means that when you’re controlling the brake hand and your climber Falls, the device is going to help you hold that fall. So you don’t have to you know, have an iron grip on the rope. You’re not going to get is much chance of slippage and it just backs you up and then, when the climber is hanging, it allows you to hold them without exerting much physical effort.

The device is going to help you when used properly, but is not a replacement for proper playing techniques, so you really just have to treat it like. You would a device that doesn’t have that braking assist at all times and then that assist is is extra and it’s nice and it makes it a more pleasant and enjoyable experience, especially if you’re using a really thin rope. When you have a standard belay device like a tube style device and you take a big fall you’re going to feel that rope really want to move through the device, because there’s less friction between a thin rope and the belay device, and the Grigri just allows you to more commandingly lock that fall off through the rotating cam mechanism and then as well.

Holding the weight of a climber doesn’t require constant effort. You simply control the break with your hand, but the Grigri itself is going to be holding that weight for you. You.
