Looking for a carabiner for Mega Jul 2 and GriGri, can I have some help? Also, I have a couple inquiries about belay devices.

Edelrid Bruce for the mega jul 2, any small offset D for the Grigri. You do not want to use an HMS. Petzl suggests the sm'd

Assisted belay device

Edelrid's Jul family is The Way. Jul 2 is single strand, and shares geometry with the dual strand Mega Jul. These tend to give the best lockup with most ropes, but it depends a lot on the carabiner, too. Skinnier biner stock tends to lock up tighter, but I get good results with an Edelrid Bulletproo

Gyms Worldwide Increasingly Ban Tube-Style Belay Devices in Favor of ABDs

I also don't know of any ABDs which can feed 2 strands, would be sincerely curious if you could name any. The Edelrid mega jul and giga jul do everything a regular tube does, and they're also assisted.

Carabiner wear from jul2?

My MegaJul does that too. 🤷 I guess if I start having material missing from my carabiner I'll replace it. For now I think it's just street cred. 😂 I do think my MegaJul behaves better with an Edelrid Bulletproof carabiner. It's not critical though.

Black Diamond ATC Pilot or Gri Gri for a beginner?

i agree in principle but with a few caveats. in recent years the grigri has become sort of the defacto standard in a lot of places, and you may find that potential partners are more comfortable being belayed on grigri, especially by a newer belayer. many gyms require it. on a personal note i wouldnt

What would be the perfect belay device for you?

Edelrid recently updated their Mega Jul. I'd love to try it out, but since I have a Giga Jul (which is shit if you don't use the exact right rope) and a Grigri (I don't like it, but it's workable), I don't actually need a new device.

Essential Hiking/Climbing Gear

Climbing: For indoor, you really just need your shoes, helmet and chalk bag, maybe a belay device depending on your gym. Maybe a 40 m rope for lead climbing. Get a bag/tarp to go with it if you do. Outdoor, in my region, everyone adds a helmet at a minimum. If you're only ever climbing with more exp

Hey there everyone, has anyone else had any issues or incidents with an Edelrid Mega Jul Belay Device? While my professional climbing friend, “who is a coach and manager at a climbing gym,” was belaying me, I took a fall and the belay device failed. I won’t get into every detail but I will show a pi

Weekly Question Thread (aka Friday New Climber Thread). ALL QUESTIONS GO HERE

I generally carry two devices. I wish to carry one for those few trips where every gram counts. By the way, I was messing around with my Mega Jul today and found a different configuration for top belay. Edelrid does not approve...LOL! Bodyweight tests confirmed that it holds load even when the user
