- Which is better...the Petzl GRIGRI + or the Petzl GRIGRI 2? Which one is right for you? Are the additional features of the GRIGRI + worth the extra money and weight? Should you upgrade to the GRIGRI + if you already have the GRIGRI 2?

Nice review. I got the new + and loving it so far. I think the only drawback I noticed was when lowering the partner with a lot of rope drag (like over slab or lips) it tends to go into the panic mode (locks) easily. But you get used to it, as you can still pull down the lever further more to re-open the lock.
Very true. If there is a lot of friction in the system or you are lowering a light climber, you pretty much have to lower them in "override" mode.
5 years later… how are both holding up for you still?
great review
nice music
I'm a new climber. I have a DMM Pivot ATC but also decided to get a Grigri 2 instead of the Jul 2 that they mostly use in German gyms (since every good climber recommends the Grigri 2). Would've liked the Grigri +, but at 90 euros for the grigri + vs 48 euros for the grigri 2 that makes hardly any sense. At almost double the price I can just get 2 grigri 2's, or even their successor.
Just a question though. How long did the Grigri 2 last you and how often do you go climbing?
My GRIGRIs tend to last me a long time because I don't pull down hard on the brake strand when I lower people. If you know how to feather the handle, you barely have to grip the brake strand and that less wear on the device itself.
How can I buy the gri gri device
@@MichaelLeeMckay GRIGRI is sold almost everywhere. Amazon, REI, Backcountry, almost any climbing gear shop.
...will that steel wear plate have same problems as on new croll( ie after some time using it becomes like razor and starts cutting rope)
Stainless steel is significantly harder than aluminium and you probably won't see any noticeable wear. So no, it should be fine.
@@SamuelVella1995 Another shit Pretzl "innovation". They get worse each and every year. Boutique crap is all.
How long have you had the grigri 2 ? I just got mines and would like an estimate of how long it could last without me needing to change it ofcourse ! Thanks
glad to hear that you got one. I've had it since it came out in April 2017. That steal wear plate is showing no grooves yet. I climb on it at least once a week.
About the lead mode, in comparison to the grigri2, is giving out slack easier or the same?
In my opinion, it's slightly better.
Little bit better. Nothing major though. Not worth the upgrade from the grigri2 but If I was buying my first grigri id get the +
Just because It can take an 8.5 doesn't mean you should be climbing on an 8.5. I mean, you ultimately know more about your situation than i do, but when i take a big whipper I want a minimum of ten. I am a bigger dude though.
my use of the Beal Opera 8.5mm is mainly during moderately rated multi-pitch climbs. I don't single pitch climb with it, and that's when I take most of my whippers. I agree that a beefier rope provides more peace of mind, but also keep in mind that this rope and a 10mm rope passes the same fall tests in order to pass as a CE or UIAA certified rope. Knowing that, allows me to know that they will protect me almost equally. However, the 10mm rope has a better chance of lasting longer from usual wear and tear.
I doubt I would ever risk it but i overheard someone talking about using an 8mm rope on the grigri that was rated 8.5mm-11mm. Have you ever seen that? I imagine it would still bite however it may act like more of a traditional tube.
a yr on, what do you make of the plus?
After a year of using this a lot, I have no issues with it. Everyone complains about the anti-panic always engaging. After you get past the learning curve and actually learn how to operate it so that it doesn't engage so oftern, it's a breeze. I also love how much smoother it is to lower someone when compared to the GRIGRI 2.
At the start you called the purple one the "plus" and at 4:04 you called it the "2"
It's ok, you cleared it up at the end.
my bad. good catch
I stay with my smart. Its simple, transparent in how it works and I have seen far more accidents with a GriGri and none with a smart, because people don´t understand but think they understand how it works. With a Smart there are no questions as to how and why it does what it does, I trust it more.
I call bullshit ...
The plus sucks ... only real pro is the better durability ... giving slack is just soo much better with the Mk2
I will agree that paying out slack is generally better with the GRIGRI 2. Seeing how the GRIGRI + was made to accommodate thinner ropes, you only get smooth slack when using a rope that is 9.5 or thinner. But I love the GRIGRI + over the GRIGRI 2 when it comes to smoothly lowering someone.
sweet christ, being a few bucks more than the original is one hting, but the god damned things are like $70 more than the original up here. fuck that noise.
Piece of shit + vs. Piece of shit 2. Spend your money on a well made, safer and nicer belay device. Easy.
