Agree with Joe!
definitely a must have in your climb gear! great for giving confidence when you're belaying someone also for amateur climbers. the price is right knowing that it will save your life in some cases.

great piece of gear
I have used this the Grigri in gyms and on real rock and it has never failed to hold its own.

Must have!!!
Although the auto-locking is no replacement for a skilled belayer, the gri-gri makes life so much easier!!! Although it's useless for rapelling, and thus it's no replacement for having an ATC, I would highly recommend it to climbers of all skill levels.

Life Saver
Petzl has produced many easy to use and well built pieces of climbing hardware. The Grigri is no different. The belaying device is great for unexperienced or amature belayer. It's auto-locking system prevents any slipage of rope throught the devise in the accurance of a fall. All in all it is great piece of hardware that I strongly advise all climbers to have.

Just returned from Grand Canyon. The Grigri exceeded my expectations and raised my confidence level while repelling or belaying my partner. Great device
