"Grigri 2 - Turquoise" Product Description
Rope Compatible
8,9 to 11 mm
Approx. Weight
185 g
Recommended Use
High Mountaineering & Expeditions, Sport Climbing, Traditional Climbing
The GRIGRI 2 belay device with assisted braking is designed to facilitate belay maneuvers. The GRIGRI 2 works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. It may be used on all single dynamic 8.9 to 11 mm ropes on the market (ideal at 9.4 mm to 10.3 mm). Both compact and ultra−light, the GRIGRI 2 will accompany you on climbs around the world for many years. The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. Ideal for experienced climbers.
Belay technique identical to classic belay systems: both hands on the rope. A fall is stopped by tightening the hand on the free end of the rope.
Assisted braking capability: during fall arrest, the belayer holds the free end of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope, increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding.
The GRIGRI 2 has a new design that allows excellent control during the descent. One hand holds the rope and the other uses the handle to unlock the cam. The patented handle design allows a very gradual release of the rope. In combination with the strong braking action of the cam, it gives a great feeling of control when lowering a partner or rappelling.
The GRIGRI 2 is compact and ultra−light at 185 g (25 % smaller and 20 % lighter than the GRIGRI)
The construction includes a stainless steel friction plate and cam to ensure a long life for the product
For 8.9 to 11 mm single ropes (ideal at 9.4 to 10.3 mm)

Se desgasta rapidísimo y la cuerda termina dejando un surco en el metal que queda filoso. Peligroso para la cuerda. Me ha durado un año y escalo solo los fines de semana. En el primer grigri que sacaron no pasaba. Aun conservo el mio y jamás pasó esto.
Llevo 2 grigris de este modelo y su durabilidad es muy corta. Nada que ver con el primero. Es cierto que es mas pequeño y ligero pero como no andes con ojo, se va desgastando y queda filoso por donde pasa la cuerda. El material hay que renovarlo de vez en cuando y hay que verificarlo antes de cada uso. Pero si lo comparo con el primer modelo, me ha decepcionado mucho por lo poco que dura.
El grigri, cacharro que lleva muchos años imbatible en el mercado para asegurar en escalada deportiva en cuerda simple, tanto a un primero como a un segundo de cordada. Hay algunos truquillos que incluso permiten emplearlo para rapelar, pero ese no es su uso.
Sin duda algunos mínimos detalles se pueden mejorar pero lo cierto, es que no tiene competencia.
