Best Multipitch Capable Climbing Belay Devices Under $100 for Lowering Control

Multipitch-capable devices handle belay-station duties including rappel and follower belay, with most top-ranked devices (Edelrid Pinch, Petzl Grigri, Edelrid Giga Jul ) designed for this use.

Under $100 brings assisted-braking options like the Petzl Grigri and Edelrid Giga Jul within reach, balancing the security premium against the simplicity of basic tube devices at this price point.
