Application to Arborist & Tree Work
While the GRIGRI is most frequently used in sport climbing and rope access, many tree-care professionals incorporate it for controlled descents, belay backup, or specialized lowering systems. Because of its assisted-braking mechanism, the device can add a layer of safety when descending or lowering loads. However, users should ensure compatibility with rope diameter, system setup and arborist-specific requirements before relying on it exclusively in tree-care contexts.
