Petzl Grigri+ Blue
Petzl Grigri+ Blue
The Petzl Grigri+ Blue belay device is designed for safely belaying both lead and second climbers on rock or at an indoor climbing wall. Thanks to its cam-assisted blocking mechanism, it is also suitable for top-rope climbing. The special ASSIST+ mode makes it easier to take in slack when belaying from above, which is particularly useful when teaching someone to climb. Its ergonomic anti-panic handle makes it easy to control and helps prevent lowering the climber too quickly. The handle, combined with the cam mechanism, creates a 3:1 mechanical advantage, allowing you to smoothly regulate the descent speed with less effort. Clear pictograms on the outside of the belay device and on the cam itself show how to correctly install the rope. Taking in slack, paying out rope and catching a fall are performed using the standard technique for Petzl belay devices, where the free end of the rope must always be held firmly in your hand. The Petzl Grigri+ belay device is compatible with single ropes from 8.5–11 mm in diameter. The belay device has an aluminium body, while the plastic parts, including the handle, are made from recycled polyamide. The device weighs 200g.

Safe use of the Petzl Grigri+ Blue belay device
The belay device's handle is equipped with an anti-panic function, which increases safety when lowering a climber and makes it easier to learn. If the user pulls the handle too hard, the anti-panic function activates, the handle disengages and the rope automatically locks. To unlock it again, you need to return the handle to its starting position. A button lets you switch the belay device to ASSIST+ mode. In the standard setting, it functions like a classic GRIGRI, while in ASSIST+ mode, the cam lifts and continuously blocks the rope. This makes it easy to take in slack, while paying out rope is only possible by using the handle. The ASSIST+ mode is especially practical for top-rope belaying and is also suitable for beginners or children's climbing groups.
