    You can order the rope in any continuous length. If you want a color other than black, tell us in the "ordering options" box on "view cart" page. Although we may not be able match the color you want, we will contact you with close options.

  • Petzl Gri Gri
    Petzl Gri Gri$119.95
    The Petzl GriGri is a belay device for single rope descents. Self-braking system--if your rope suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall), the cam pivots to pinch the rope, thus helping to stop the climber's fall. When belaying giving/taking slack is done by using both hands to slide the rope through the device. When 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). Rope sizes 8 - 13 millimeters

When you let go of the handle, an internal cam pinches the rope and stops your descent. The Stop allows you to easily rest during a long descent and provides a safety backup. Fits rope sizes 9 - 12 millimeters [D20-L]
