The Next Evolution

You might think it’s just a slightly updated version of the belay device by which all others are judged, but if you ask us, the Petzl Neox is more than just an updated Grigri. Sure, it operates basically the same way, meaning you won’t have to learn any new tricks to safely belay your partner. But when your partner is on lead, the effortless payout of slack is simply smoother, with less resistance than any other automatic belay device (and yes, we’ve used them all). You’re still getting compatibility with ropes from 8.5mm to 11mm in diameter, just like the Grigri, so you won’t have to worry about your rope selection. It’s a little bigger, and a couple of grams heavier than the Grigri, but the improved experience more than makes up for that minor penalty. If you’re looking for the best belay device available, your search ends here.
