Behind every great send, there's a great belayer.
The GRIGRI 2 helps the belayer work in unison with the climber.
The climber, at any level, needs to be able to concentrate on his/her moves and rhythm. The belayer's actions should not interfere with progression: when he/she accelerates, pulls up slack to clip, etc.
The design of the GRIGRI 2 makes belaying easier. The belay technique is identical to classic belay technique, and the assisted braking capability facilitates arresting falls.
The new GRIGRI2 builds on the success of the first GRIGRI, which helped revolutionize sport climbing over the last 20 years. Besides being smaller and lighter, this latest version has been designed to work with the thinner ropes that many climbers are using today. It also features a new design that allows for smoother lowering.
Major strengths and new features
Compatible with single ropes between 8.9 and 11 mm
The new GRIGRI2 can be used with almost any single dynamic rope. Whether you are working a route with a thicker rope or trying to send your hard test piece using a skinny cord, the GRIGRI 2 will perform optimally.
Progressive descent control system
The new progressive descent control system in the GRIGRI 2 is specially designed to offer smooth, even lowering action - there's a larger 'sweet spot' when lowering a climber or rappelling.
20% lighter and 25% more compact
Weighing in at only 185 grams and noticeably more compact than the older version, you won't have to think twice about carrying the GRIGRI 2 on your next climbing adventure.

Answer : IT'S NO
Tue, 31/05/2011 - 12:09 — community_managerThere is no safety issue with the Grigri 2, please read the Grigri experience web page here :
http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/grigri-experience
In certain specific cases (for example, assisting the climber in regaining a high point after a fall, GRIGRI fixed on a carabiner attached to two points, rope climbing, etc.), the rope can become jammed behind the cam. Don’t worry: this jamming does not damage the rope. Our internal testing shows that even with the smallest diameters, the rope remains intact, even if the climber falls. Note also that even with the rope in this position, the cam functions normally and the climber’s fall will be arrested.
Unjamming the rope is simple. Always hold the braking side of the rope when performing this action. If the rope is not under tension, push on the side of the device to reposition the climber side of the rope in the cam groove. If the rope is already under tension, simply pull on the braking side of the rope.
The spanish translation of this page will be published very shortly.

Tue, 14/06/2011 - 02:39 — Tom (not verified)I've heard grigris shouldn't be used for long or fast absails as they heat up very quickly, just wondering if there is any truth in this....
Many thanks

Thu, 16/06/2011 - 09:45 — community_managerThe Grigri is not the best choice for long or fast abseil, in this case Petzl would recommend using a Stop descender. If you wish to use your grigri for abseiling on a single rope, go slowly in order not to overheat the product.
Thank you for your participation
