Petzl Grigri

[D14]The GRIGRI's self-braking function helps the belayer catch and hold a climber, making it great for working routes. Works equally well for lead climbing and top roping. Ergonomic design makes for smooth, controllable lowers. Also great for rappelling on single ropes - perfect for setting and cleaning routes.Self-brakin g system: if the rope suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall), the cam pivots to pinch the rope, thus helping the belayer stop the climber's fallUsage is similar to that of conventional belay devices:- paying out rope is done using both hands- arresting a fall is done by holding the free end of the rope- for lowering and rappelling, the rate of descent is controlled by the hand holding the free end of the rope (the rope is released with the handle).For use with single ropes between 10 and 11 mm in diameter.

[D14]The GriGri is essentially any other belay device, with the addition of an internal camming mechanism that works like a car seatbelt to catch the sudden shock load of an unexpected fall. Good belay technique is still essential. They do take a lot of practice to use fluently on lead belay.
