I learned nothing after those leggings came into shot.

Cool! Where can I get the tiger legins??

A gri gri with an ejector button in case your climber yells at you too much for short roping them lol

kudos on the constant iteration and innovation.

Did the guy lead climbing realize he was being filmed for this video?

My question about clipping directly to the harness: Does this replace a screw or triple locking carabiner, with a single (big) button that would let the device loose? Or am I missing something?

I look forward to the next generation, offering an additional anti-panic function when - out of panic - you mistakenly overwrite the anti-panic function after your first panic attack.

Cool device!

Having an option to deactivate the anti panic function sold me after unselling me with the function. As a left hander, will actually give a try as I like these active camming style devices for the breadth of ropes they work well with and some advantages bolting, cleaning, etc., but nothing is ever smooth and consistent enough pinching the device left handed. Somewhat dubious how the direct connect will function, though.

Sehr cooles Gerät, villeich wechsel ich wenn ich mein aktuelles Gerät verliere

some really novel additions to a cam style belay device. looks like the best implementation of an anti-panic handle i've seen, what with having an actual bypass vs the useless button on something like a petzl ID. and doesn't require buying a whole new device to disable it entirely. not that I want the anti-panic on my own device, but I'd be less cranky when I'm forced to use them if they all worked like this.

nice gloves mate!

how do you prevent the device fron opening in case of direct connection to the harness? I mean, what if I press the button?

Looks pretty cool - i was gonna buy a grigri - i might wait for this one :)

This genuinely looks like an improvement frol gri gri. Not altrrnative, but improvement

Can you belay from above with it, also directly from the anchor without a locking carabiner?

Schöne Produktvorstellung/ Tutorial! Frage: Wie verhält sich das Gerät wenn beide Hände sich nicht am Pinch befinden oder zumindest, warum auch immer, sich die Bremshand nicht am Seil befindet? Findet trotzdem eine Blockierung statt? VG

wo gibts die leggins?

Does the cross-loading scenario (02:00) suggest that the holes through which the carabiner is inserted should be a little smaller so the screwgate won't go through? I suppose it's a difficult balance to be able to fit large HMSs etc though...

❤❤❤

Does it have a lead mode like the grigri+ so you don't have to press the lever everytime?

The winner is: the leopard leggings!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Looks nice Team Edelrid ! when will it be available ?

The biggest innovation is that you can clip it to your belay loop without a carabiner but I'm not sure it is a big advantage. I disagree when you say in 2:26 that you gain 20-30cm when giving slack, rather you lose that extra length because when clipped with a carabiner you can push down the device and therefore increase the distance between your hands. Most people hate antipanic, so it was a good Idea to propose two ways to override it. Overall my opinion is that is just another grigri. CAMP made the Matik, the first to include anti-panic I believe. BEAL made the Birdie, the most simple and inexpensive version (my favourite). So it was time to EDELRID to came up with their own grigri.

What about lead ropesoloing? Or at least Topropesoloing? Any use for that?

Ressemble Tres fortement au grigri . Mais avec quelques fonctions en plus . A essayer. Ça doit être pas mal.

People were crazy about Eddie because the direction of the rope was opposite to that of Grigri. But will Finch follow Grigri's shortcomings again?

Welche Wette hat der liebe Daniel verloren? :D Danke für den Einsatz!

This seems like the first camming belay device, that offers some advantages over the Grigri. I'm very excited to test what the handling feels in practice. I feel like the direct connection is also a major advantage for jumaring, when you can get an additional carabiner length before hitting the jumar. What I'm concerned about and what I didn't catch in the video, is how you remove the pinch from your harness and how you prevent it from opening on accident.

3:24 did that brake hand leave the rope?

I heard this is rated for lead rope soloing. Is this true?

Where can i buy one? (canada )

Can i use it for rope solo ?

Praise the Lord!

I was about to say "hard pass" because of the anti-panic mechanism, but the screw made this interesting to me. I'm still not a fan of camming belay devices, but this is the closest I've ever been to considering one for route setting indoors and route development outdoors.

Looks like a copy of a GriGri to me. I’m not sold on the soft shackle direct connect -iIt looks like one side swipe and the thing can become unhooked. If it ain’t locked it ain’t locked !!

i guess the grigri patent became public domain.

Has the product been released? There's no way to buy it.

We have one, and it's like Grigri on steroids. It's extra smooth, offering flexibility and accommodating both light and heavy users (with a difference of +25kg).Additionally, it is certified for rope access, ensuring it meets all necessary safety standards for professional use

What’s the weight and are high wear areas steel?

your mom called. she wants her tiger theme pyjama pants back!

Grigri with a nice big "quick drop" button right where you pinch to feed slack. 🤨

Looks great, but come on, where's the twin rope version? THAT is a Grigri killer!

Those pants

I wonder about anyone accidentally pressing the button to open the device while belaying.

Anyone else see the belayer drop the rope at 1:23 ??!! am i seeing this right?

Bien ouej vous avez réinventé le grigri 😅

I won't have true confidence in something like this novel attachment method until channels like Hard Is Easy or HowNot2 get their hands on it and start testing it under less than ideal condition. This attachment method is really cool, and I think it has the potential to be amazing, but part of me worries that it will have some flaw and we should wait for version 2.0 or some other company's imitation that addresses the concern. I really wish that there was some sort of two part mechanism instead of a single button that "shouldn't" be able to open up during use. Other than the unique attachment method and it's ability to rorate by 90 degrees when hanging from an anchor (2/4 of which depend on thay attachment method), this does really little to differentiate it from a Grigri or other similar caming devices. And if that unconventional attachment method is anything less than 110% bomber, it will be a pass until it is. Now, to Edelrid, if you want to earn some good will from the community, send some samples out to gear testing channels prior to release with no strings attached. If the product stands for itself in their tests, you will sell out of your first run. If not... well, you'll have gotten a head start on your redesign.

I could only focus on the pants

Music is too loud

cool, but as indonesian i dont think i can afford it, too expensive

I dont get what problem people have here and everywhere I look with the opening mechanism. It is a cool option with some advantages, thats it. And if you don't like it, use the standard way with a carabiner... And you could even back it up when attached directly. How they say in so many videos: It is not about saving on the biner... And guess what: I can detach any device if I intent to while belaying. And there are Twist lock carabiners, Magnetrons, Sliders, etc. You choose how safe you want to go. Jesus, there are poeple still belaying with tubes and figure of eights because they have some advantages. What is this negativity all about!? Give me a break...

Warum nicht in deutsch? Und das als deutscher Hersteller.. traurig

I think it would have been better to simply not integrate any anti panick system. It seems a bit hard to do the process to definitely deactivate it

Congratulations, you guys have just invented a grigri. Moreover, it does not even cover the main grigri flow - it is still intuitive to disable autoblock with one hand, pull the slack with the upper hand, while letting go the lower hand.

The cool thing about the pinch is that its loads easier to unclip the belay device. Meaning you can abandon the climber almost instantly. This is such a bad idea, i can't believe it made it past R&D

When did tights become appropriate for demonstrations? Maybe have your climber wear something less revealing next time. Why do I need to be exposed while watching a tutorial?
