GriGri 2 Recall

In order to make sure all our climbers are safe, we want to make sure you all know about the recall from Petzl on the Grigri 2.

While there have not been any reports of injuries, there have been a few devices that have ended up being stuck with the handle all the way open. However, this takes a lot of pressure on the handle to make it 'break' and do this.

This is not much of an issue if you keep your hand on the 'brake' side which is recommended for all belay devices, but still important to be sure your equipment is functioning properly.

Here is the link to Petzl's page about the recall.

It concerns Grigri 2 devices with the first five digits of the serial number between 10326 and 11136.

Please spread the word to remind everyone to check your safety gear regularly, as well as your safety methods. (Always keep your brake hand on the rope!)
