Work readings

Next to wanting to be a climber I sometimes also have to earn money in other ways.
Teaching height safety courses for example.
A new safety guideline came out for work in the wind energy sector.

! GriGri 2

Unfortunately the new GriGri 2 has a problem... (In Apple terms: As it turns out the GriGri2 has an issue...)

Under serious force the handle might block, causing failure in the automatic breaking system.

So, I have to sent mine back and get a replacement.

Maybe you have to sent yours back too? Check out the details on the Petzl website here.

Petzl says: "Because the safety of our users is our primary concern, as a measure of precaution Petzl has decided to take the following actions:

- Increase the mechanical strength of the handle on all GriGri 2's since serial number 11137.

- Recall all GriGri 2's with the first five digits of the serial number between 10326 and 11136, and replace with a new revised GriGri 2.

Petzl will pay for all shipping costs to complete this replacement."

For Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg please contact Alpitec by e-mailing to recall.grigri2@alpitec.be

For Iceland, please use to contact form on the Petzl webpage.
