GriGri vs. ClickUp: Why does the GriGri remain the default for beginners when the ClickUp feels more intuitive to me?
Grigris are more versatile, especially for multipitch and self-rescue situations. Grigris can belay directly off the anchors, be used for a haul, rappel, or ascend a rope. The CT Clickup can’t belay off anchors and can’t as easily ascend a rope if you rappel past anchors or need to rescue a leader.

New Viper Ice Tools from BD
That they lied about their beacon problem and people died. And then they lied some more. Then they waited until they got a class action lawsuit against them before they issued a recall. Then their next line of beacons also failed. Then their next line also failed. Every company has recalls. The diff

What kind of mechanisms could I use to improve belay devices in terms of safety?
No There’s several that lock by default The most popular for decades has been https://www.rei.com/product/151970/petzl-grigri-belay-device But that’s still not a reason for you to develop and patent your own solution, especially a small, light one that gradually slows you down like an auto-belay htt

IMO, just get a Grigri. The Revo can be a little... contrived. Neither are "safer" than the other, both are assisted braking devices. Climbing accidents rarely come from any kind of equipment failure, it is far more likely to be from user error and complacency. Do partner checks, check your knots, t

Weekly Question Thread (aka Friday New Climber Thread). ALL QUESTIONS GO HERE
This question comes up twice a year, every year, probably based on course schedules. Climbing gear, especially belay devices, are pretty much optimized. Edelrid spent lots of time and money with people with decades of experience designing climbing gear and was able to make the pinch, which by popula

Grigri purchase
I mean…. They changed the geometry a bit and the new ones have a wider and slightly different range of ropes they are designed to accept. I seem to recall the old ones being grippier but it might just be that we all had thicker ropes back then. I see zero reason to think the grigri 1 is not perfectl

did I get scammed?
Looks like a GriGri, is packaged like a GriGri. Sold by Petzl. If it also tastes like a GriGri you should be good to go. Like others said checking the serial number should be the ultimate confirmation, but this looks completely fine.

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
