Petzl

Grigri + Belay Device

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the Grigri + for teaching and for projecting, and the control is unbeatable. The anti-panic handle is awesome for newer belayers, and the switch between lead and top rope modes really does change how the device feeds and catches. It handles a big range of rope diameters smoothly, so it’s become my go-to for gyms and crags alike."

We rely on the Petzl Grigri + when we want maximum control and smooth handling on the wall or at the crag. Petzl took the beloved Grigri concept and refined it even further, integrating assisted braking that feels intuitive and predictable with modern ropes across a wide diameter range.

The standout features shine most when the climbing gets real. An anti-panic handle automatically locks the device if the brake is pulled too hard, adding a layer of security for newer belayers or fatigued hands after long sessions. A side-mounted selector switch lets us toggle between top rope and lead modes, ensuring better brake engagement for TR and easier slack feeding for lead belay. Stainless steel wear plates boost longevity, making the Grigri + a dependable tool for daily use.

With its smooth payout, reliable braking, and adjustments built for real climbing scenarios, the Grigri + is a polished evolution of a proven classic—ideal for anyone who values safety, ease, and long-term durability.
