Petzl Grigri climbing belay device +

Since the first GRIGRI appeared in the early 1990s, Petzl has had a profound impact on the world of climbing. This 2026 version of the Petzl GRIGRI+ continues that legacy by offering a slimmer, more intuitive, and even more powerful device. Designed for belaying in the gym or on rock walls, it guarantees optimal rope control thanks to its assisted locking system. Versatile, it is suitable for both lead climbing and top rope climbing and is aimed at a wide range of climbers.

Petzl GRIGRI+: a reassuring device for learning and progression

The GRIGRI+ stands out for its anti-panic lever, which is particularly useful when learning descent techniques. This system has been simplified to make its operation clearer and more intuitive. The mechanism now has two levels: the first allows for smooth and controlled descent, while the second automatically locks the device if the lever is pulled too abruptly. This feature reduces handling errors and enhances safety, especially during the first belaying sessions.

Enjoy formidable efficiency in top-rope climbing with the Petzl GRIGRI+.

For top-rope belaying, the Petzl GRIGRI+ features ASSIST+ mode, a feature that makes rope retrieval much easier. The new locking mechanism, now equipped with two springs, further improves safety and smoothness of use. In practical terms, this system offers several significant advantages during intensive sessions:

• Almost instantaneous locking in case of sudden tension on the rope
• Reduced risk of accidental unraveling when top roping
• Smoother handling when retrieving the rope
• Increased comfort for the belayer during long climbing sessions

These improvements make the GRIGRI+ a reliable partner for climbing gyms, clubs, and regular climbers.

A durable, lightweight device designed to last

Beyond its technical performance, the Petzl GRIGRI+ has also evolved in its design. Its side panels are now made of high-strength aluminum, a choice that reduces weight while maintaining excellent durability. The braking mechanism and cams remain stainless steel to ensure optimal wear resistance. Weighing approximately 200 g and compatible with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm, this belay device is the perfect addition to the equipment of any climber concerned with safety and performance. CE EN 15151-1 and UIAA certified, it is available in several colors, including yellow, blue, and green.
