Petzl Grigri 2 Belay Device

Item #PTZ0302 | 167 in Stock
4 Star Rating

Better than first one but...

By Ranked #68 - Belay and Rappel Devices June 2, 2011

... an article on 8a.nu mentions a flaw of the device where the rope can slide outside the safety cam and become jammed on the side of the cam. It's not supposed to damage the rope or anything but still kinda weird.
Other than that little concern, it's pretty solid, feels secure to belay with. Not as easy to feed as the cinch though.
I like it way more than the first one because of its size, making it easier to belay with.
