Petzl GriGri Belay Device The BackCountry in Truckee, CA - The BackCountry
Designed specifically for belaying, the intuitive, easy-to-use GridLock isolates the belay loop behind its uniquely shaped gate, thereby keeping the carabiner in its proper orientation. The GridLock's I-beam spine transitions into a large, rounded rope-bearing surface for maximum strength and smooth rope feeding. Simply put, you'll never have to deal with a shifting, cross-loaded belay carabiner again.

ABOUT THIS BOOKToproping is rock climbing with the rope anchored at the top of the climb, as opposed to lead climbing, where a climber places protection as they go. Having a top anchor lessens thepotential distance of a fall and creates a more controlled situation in which to hone your climbing technique. Toproping is at the heart of learning to climb, and being able to safely set up and manage toprope situations is a critical component in the development of any climber.
