GRIGRI+ Belay device with assisted braking, top-rope mode & anti-panic handle

GRIGRI+ is an assisted braking device designed for all climbers, for both indoor and outdoor climbing. It can be used with all single ropes (optimized for 8.9 to 10.5 mm diameter ropes) and is suited for intensive use. The reduction handle offers exceptional descent control. Two usage modes to choose from, depending on need: top-rope belay or lead belay. The top-rope belay mode and the anti-panic handle make for a more comfortable belay, making the GRIGRI + particularly suitable for learning.

Dear Petzl,
Please just make a double slot Grigri+ for double/half/twin-ropes/rappel situations. That's all we'll ever need.
Thanks.

I wonder if for teaching the way we did it - basic belay device and someone else hanging on the the brake rope but slack, works better. The climber is still protected if the belayer makes a mistake as the instructor can lock it up by pulling the brake rope tight, but the belayer can't just let the device do the work. The belayer has to work too and gets the experience (which I enjoyed) of finding that they can catch a fall. It boosts confidence and also means if you end up using a basic device (perhaps twin roping one day) you know you can do it.

That said, I'm tempted by this or something like the Click-Up or Jul to give a little more when belaying. I tried someone else's older GriGri and found that it took precision with the two hand movement to stop it locking when paying out. Reviews say that this in lead climb mode is easier.

Stoked to try this out! Itll be here from Moosejaw in a couple of days!!

Now the real question is, where can we get that cool grigri necklace at 3:30 ?

Warum wird nicht darauf hingewiesen, dass die Anti-Panik-Blockierung gelöst wird, wenn man den Hebel über die Blockierung hinaus weiter zu sich

[marciosarto]

I had one bad experience with the anti-panic system. When climbing a friend of mine got accidentally attacked by bees and the belayer desperately tried to lower the climber down and the anti-panic system blocked his lowering a lot, which results in him receiving lots of extra bee bites before we all manage to ran out of the attack. Not a desirable feature to have in those situations.

[danielcisar]

Do you have video which actually explain how to use this device?

[vlillebo]

Wait what is this a reupload? Anyways, seems like a really god device and mesa wants.

[dirtysouthclimbing]

I usually hold it wide open and let go at the last second on the lower.

avec le 2, des qu'il y a un peut de tirage on est déjà a fond de poignée, alors si en plus ça debraye avec l'antipanic du +... le mode toprope doit etre super sympa pour equiper/bricoler (le ressort du 1 ou du 2 ca fait des belles frayeur parfois :p )

[HolowatyVlogs]

I’m happy with my regular GriGri. If you panic just let go and it’ll block.

[colinpugh]

Who's the climber at 43 sec and 1:27 ?

[rancidhotmail]

i dont understand the difference between the plus and regular

[peterross]

panic handle doesn't work with 10, 1 ropes be aware.

[jeankoh]

If I were to choose the belay mood, must I pick the knob to use it?

[darylmeanger]

Would this replace a prussik on a lifeline for arborists?

[marklishmael]

It is odd that Petzl would put out a video in which the belayer is using the device in likely a very dangerous manner at 0:13. The belayer is holding the cam down with her thumb so that she can pay out rope to the climber, without also holding on to the brake side of the rope.

Stop the insulting marketing fluff and show more of how it works. Have to view other videos by amateurs for a real visual assessment of whether this is garbage or not. Fire your marketing and instruction personnel and re-hire.

Mayan seems like a real snobby lady who I wouldn't talk to

[StaggerLee]

Beal Birdie. light years ahead of the Preztl garbage. Be smart, look elsewhere, pay less for far superior gear.
