Self-braking belay device & descender for single ropes
The GRIGRI's self-braking function helps the belayer
catch and hold a climber, making it great for working
routes. Works equally well for lead climbing and
toproping. Ergonomic design makes for smooth,
controllable lowers. Also great for rappelling on
single ropes & perfect for setting and cleaning
routes.

Features
Self-braking system: if the rope
suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall), the cam pivots to pinch
the rope, thus helping the belayer stop the climber's fall
Usage is similar to that of conventional belay devices
giving/taking slack is done by using both hands to slide the rope through the device
falls are held by holding the free end of the rope with the brake hand
for lowering and rappelling, the rate of descent is controlled by
the hand holding the free end of the rope (the rope is released with
the handle)
