Neox Belay Device One Size

Great

I own and use all sorts of different belay devices and each one has pros and cons - applications where they shine, and times when they don't. I already have a GriGri+ which I use for general wall use and working with beginners to the device, but got this for it's lead climbing potential. It's brilliant for that, pays out rope very easily and smoothly and just works well. Dead-rope management needs proper care as it's less forgiving than the grigri. It's definitely a bit livelier when lowering too so you need to be aware of that, and some of its other properties make it not as a good an all-purpose device as the grigri. However for what it excels at - sport lead climbing, it's absolutely brilliant and I love it. If you're looking for more general purpose use and in other applications, or you don't already have other assisted braking devices, then maybe consider the Grigri or Pinch instead.

For single pitch lead climbing, this is excellent. It is easy to pay out rope and you have the added security of a locking system. Very happy with my purchase.

Still getting used to it. So far I’m well happy.

Love this belay device. Step up from a grigri
