The Grigri 2 has been a much loved assisted-braking belay device for many years. I now have one, and i think it lives up to what everyone else is saying about it. The assisted braking feature works extremely well, especially for lead climbing, and it is much smaller and lighter than the Grigri 1, which also was a huge hit. One thing about the Grigri is that it can take a while to get used to. When lead belaying, you can feed out rope really fast without the brake kicking in and stoping you. You have to hold down the middle part to make sure it doesn't stop you. The other thing is that because the carabiner has to rub up against the rope, I would suggest to use a smaller carabiner, or else it will be really hard to feed out rope, or take it in. Other than those two minor things, I like the Grigri a lot.
