The Petzl Grigri Plus is an amazing assisted braking belay device tailored for all climbers, whether you're scaling indoor walls or conquering outdoor peaks. It works seamlessly with all single ropes, with an ideal fit for ropes ranging from 8.9 to 10.5 mm in diameter, and it's built to endure heavy - duty use. This device comes with an anti - panic handle and offers two usage modes: top - rope belay and lead belay. In top - rope belay mode, taking up slack is a breeze, providing a more comfortable belaying experience, making it a great choice for learning. When it comes to stopping a fall, just like with classic belay systems, you simply tighten your hand on the free end of the rope. The reduction handle gives you excellent control during descents, thanks to the well - regulated rope feed. It also has engraved diagrams for rope installation on both the interior and exterior. Its stainless - steel wear plate ensures long - lasting durability. And if you pull too hard on the handle, the anti - panic function kicks in to stop the descent. You can also choose and even lock the belay mode according to your needs. Weighing only 200 g, it's made of aluminum side plates, a stainless - steel friction plate and wear plate, and a reinforced nylon handle.
Using the Petzl Grigri Plus is easy. First, choose the right belay mode (top - rope or lead) using the selection knob. You can even lock the mode if you want. When belaying, keep both hands on the rope, just like with classic systems. To stop a fall, tighten your hand on the free end of the rope. For descents, use the reduction handle to control the rope feed smoothly. Make sure to use ropes between 8.9 and 10.5 mm in diameter for best performance. When you're done climbing, clean the device with a dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures. Check the stainless - steel wear plate regularly for signs of excessive wear. If you notice any issues with the anti - panic handle or the overall function, have it inspected by a professional before using it again.
