4.3 out of 5 based on 14 user reviews.
Cred: 629 | | BUT watch out a Whole load of these WERE RECALLED. Mine was one and took almost a month to complete the proceedure. All I got out of the recall and not having my grigri2 was a Petzl decal |
|
Cred: 128 | | Gri-Gri 2 is lighter than original, accommodates thinner rope than older model (8.9-11mm). |
| Requires finesse to prevent unintended engaging of cam. Modified belay technique helpful for lead belay (hold cam with brake hand to give quick dump), technique discussed on website. |
|
Cred: 218 | | Assisted locking, lighter than grigri 1 super handy for aid, can self belay, all single rope diameters compatible. |
| Expensive, single rope only, doesn't feed 10.2mm+ ropes as well as the first one. |
| Never used a cinch but heard its just as handy |
|
Cred: 844 | | Good device with nice assisted breaking feature. |
| Snags rope bad if trying to feed out for an easy section or to give slack for clipping. Heavy. |
|
Cred: 17 | | Lighter and more rope options. |
| None if used to using grigri |
| This is a definite step up from the original. |
|
Cred: 5 | | This is a great encore from Petzl to the original Gri Gri. If you're familiar with the original you'll feel right at home, only more like sitting in a new comfier chair. |
| Lead belaying with thicker diameter ropes takes a little practice, and catching falls with smaller diamter ropes slip a bit. You have to pay attention, but then again you should be doing that already. |
|
Cred: 5 | | smaller and lighter then previous generation. Also, able to use smaller and bigger diameter ropes. Lead belay is super smooth |
| many people belay incorrectly with this belay device. People think it is 100% safe |
|
Cred: 5 | | Light weight. Just as smooth and easy to operate as the original. I love my baby gri gri! |
| None so far - waiting to see how well it holds up to abuse. Not as intuitive as a tube-style belay device, but nothing new to those used to assisted braking devices. |
|
Cred: 49 | | if dont know how to use it please dont use it |
|
Cred: 5 | | Light weight, easy to use, allows the belayer to relax more than when using an ATC |
| some may find it tricky to use at first but once you get it, it's great |

| Just as useful and lighter than it's older version! |
|
Cred: 3 | | Takes a little more practice so you don't short-rope the climber |
