my son in law is
my son in law is a very keen experienced climber and is stoked to be able to climb a lot more safely with my daughter who is less experienced.
Belay device with assisted braking, compatible with a broad range of single rope diameters, for both gym and crag:
- feeding slack and catching falls are done using standard belay techniques; always keep a hand on the brake side of the rope
- belaying convenience, thanks to assisted braking: when a climber falls, the device pivots on the carabiner, the rope tightens and the cam pinches and brakes the rope. Holding the brake side
of the rope helps engage the cam; therefore, it is important to always hold the brake side of the rope
- compatible with dynamic single ropes 8.5 to 11 mm, optimized for 8.9 to 10.5 mm
- rope installation diagram engraved on both the interior and exterior of the device
Exceptional convenience when lowering:
- the ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
- easily controlled, progressive rope feed provides a smooth and comfortable descent
Intended for all users:
- simple to use for belaying both lead or top-rope climbers
- optimally balanced design: lightweight (175 g), compact and durable

Have not used it yet, but it is exactly like ones I have borrowed so am familiar with it. Looking forward to putting it to the test this labour weekend in Kawakawa Bay, lake Taupo.
There's some confusing terminology with the grigri belay devices, I ordered a ,"grigri 2", thinking it was the most recent version, but fortunately Gearshop delivered the current version - the "grigri". Thanks, quick delivery too
I was hesitant at spending so much on just a belay device, and wanted the GriGri + but they didnt have the colour i wanted, so i settled with the grigri 2. After the first session of using it i immediately loved it. It felt much more secure than an ATC, and smoother action.
