Petzl GRIGRI
Low Cost: $77.50
Description
The GRIGRI is a self-locking belay device which also functions well as an ascender or descender when needed. Once properly installed, the device locks onto the rope when weighted with a rotating stainless steel cam. Unlocking is accomplished by unweighting the GRIGRI, or by pulling the self-retracting handle, which unlocks the cam. With the cam held open by the handle, the user can rappel, stopping the descent when necessary by releasing the handle. It is becoming increasingly popular as an easily adjustable self-locking rope attachment for work positioning, as well as a "self belay" device when climbing structures or ladders. The Grigri is highly recommended by numerous builders and program directors across the country. It's a Life Saver! For 10-11 mm ropes.
