trad + grigri 28-Feb-2012 At 5:38:13 PM IronCheff

I asked Petzl if the Grigri 2 is suitable for Trad climbing and I got the following response. The answer is not Yes or No so not sure if it helps at all. I don't have a Grigri but I do have a Click Up which has the same issue of positive lock off. I'm also lighter than my partner, I haven't used it on Trad yet but would like to.

#####From Petzl########
The Petzl GriGri2 is designed to belay a Lead Climber and a Second. The Petzl GriGri2 is able to be used for Top-roping, Single-pitch or Multi-pitch climbing.
Due to the overwhelming range of factors in climbing, it is the decision of the climber to decide which is the most appropriate device for his/her skill level and environment of operation.

For guidance on the use of the Petzl GriGri2 please refer to the Tehcnical Notice (that can be downloaded from here: http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/belay-devices/grigri ) and also the Experience page that can be found here: http://www.petzl.com/en/outdoor/grigri-experience
