Petzl GRIGRI: The Gold Standard in Assisted Belay Devices
There’s a reason the Petzl GRIGRI has been around for decades—it just works. As an assisted braking belay device, it adds an extra layer of safety, especially helpful when catching frequent falls or working tough routes. It’s ideal for indoor gym days, outdoor leads, or anytime you’re belaying someone pushing their limits. And despite the advanced braking mechanism, it’s still intuitive to use. The Petzl GRIGRI has earned its place as a trusted tool in nearly every serious climber’s pack.
Petzl NEOX: The Next Generation of Descenders
When it comes to descenders, the Petzl NEOX brings something fresh to the table. Designed with modern rope handling in mind, it gives climbers and rope access professionals the kind of control and efficiency that older devices just can’t match. It’s especially useful in scenarios where you’re lowering heavy loads or making precise movements during descents. The smooth braking feel and rotating side plate make rigging fast and secure. Once you’ve used the Petzl NEOX, it’s hard to go back.
Choosing the Right Belay Equipment for Your Climb
Every climb is different—and so is the gear that supports it. If you mostly climb indoors, top rope, or lead sports routes, an assisted braking device like the Petzl GRIGRI is an excellent match. If you’re rappelling, working on technical setups, or doing rescue-style rigging, the Petzl NEOX or other descenders might suit you better. Need help figuring it all out? Stop by Mountain Extreme and chat with someone who’s actually used the gear—we’ll walk you through the options without the jargon or sales pitch.

FAQs
A belay device is used to catch falls and control the rope while belaying a climber. A descender helps you move smoothly down a rope—like when rappelling. They can look similar, but they’re built for different jobs. Some gear can do both, but each has its own strength.
Definitely. The Petzl GRIGRI is a favorite for new climbers because it offers extra braking support. It’s simple to use once you’ve had a bit of practice, especially when learning to lower. If you’re just getting into belaying, the GRIGRI is one of the safest places to start.
Use the Petzl Neox when you’re doing more technical stuff—like lowering gear, rappelling long pitches, or handling rope access. It’s great for controlled descent. If you’re mainly belaying a climber, the GRIGRI makes more sense. They’re both solid tools, but built for different parts of the climb.
