Belay devices and descenders

Working Principle

When a climber falls or rests, the rope tightens, and the cam pivots to pinch the rope and block it.

Advantages

• Comfortable belay, thanks to cam-assisted blocking, which minimizes the strength required of the brake-side hand. This system is especially useful for working a route, trying a move over and over or holding the climber.
• Considerable leeway for brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber-side and brake-side ropes.
• Exceptionally comfortable descent, thanks to the ergonomic handle that controls the progressive rope feed.

GRIGRI^®

Belay device with cam-assisted blocking.

Working Principle

When a climber falls or rests, the brake hand grips the rope firmly and pulls it downward, the rope gets pressed into the braking grooves, thus increasing the friction until the rope stops.

Advantages

• Simple, compact and lightweight.
• Compatible with single, half, and twin dynamic ropes.
• Comfortable rappels, thanks to the efficiency of the braking grooves.
