Built for belaying fast followers, the GiGi belay device is the tool of choice for alpine guides who are climbing in a team of three and place high value on speed and efficiency. While this device can't be used to belay a leader, it's lightweight design and small footprint makes it essential for increasing the number of pitches you can sneak into a day. Used as an auto locking device, the GiGi can block only the rope that has come under tension, meaning a team can keep moving while one member gets back on the rock.
