The OG, the classic, the inimitable...
The GriGri doesn't need an introduction, now does it? From gym climbing to trad, sport climbing to rope soling, this cam-assisted blocking belay device is the gold standard in the industry. Heck, half the gyms in Colorado demand you use an assisted braker...sorry, tubular belay devices - we still love you.
An ergonomic handle serves up a smooth and safe lowering experience for both climber and belayer, while feeding rope doesn't get any smoother. Its durable, its versatile, and its a necessity in a lot of gyms. You just can't go wrong with a GriGri.
