Most Helpful Negative Review Wrong Product
I was a little upset to find that the product sent to my house was actually the Kong Robot. Pretty much useless for the applications i was intending to use the GiGI for. I also had a terrible response form campsaver who were unaccomidating to replace the item. Too bad cause i really liked the company.

Specialized

by Walt P, from UT, United States Written on March 17, 2017
All I wanna say is this is a life saver when bringing up seconds, especially two of them. Like other reviewers have said, be careful to set up properly and be careful about inversion. Just climb smart and you will be good. Five stars because it does what it is intended to perfectly.

Great for belaying the second

by Bryan K., Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on April 2, 2016
This belay device is great for what limited uses it has: belaying the second. It is very light and is fantastic for this purpose. I used it some while doing multi-pitch climbs at Seneca Rocks. My guide says it's his preferred device for belaying the second climber. If you want an all-in-one device or are going to be switching leads, it is not be the best, but it is hands down the best for belaying a second.

Not for me!

by Joe the Man, from UT, United States Written on April 3, 2014
It has its place, just not with me. It requires at least one extra carabiner, more for most uses. The instructions aren't very clear. I will be leaving this one off my rack.

Good specialized piece of gear.

by Brian C, Written on December 12, 2013
This is an excellent product but is a very specialized piece of gear. If you're doing alot of leading and are always bringing up multiple partners simultaneously via guide-mode then this is for you. It will save your arms due to the ease of pulling. Be careful to set it up carefully as a heavy partner and a thin rope can cause an inversion of the rope and a loss of locking ability (this is BAD!).

Great for belaying a second

by jsun, Written on September 10, 2011
Great for bringing up a second on belay. It auto locks and you can just hang out and feed rope through as the person below you climbs. Cheap. Great as a backup device as well (can be used to rap). Always have it on my trad rack. If you're only doing single pitch climbs you don't need it. But if you want to belay your second easily by attaching this to the anchor it's a nice devices to have. Great
