My new primary belay device
Veeo✓ Verified Purchase•September 10, 2023
The lifeguard is a very good belay device. Paying out slack was much better than a Gri-Gri and it definitly weighs significantly less. I really like the all metal contruction over the gri-gri. It feels very well engineered. The only complaint I have is that the lowering handle is fairly skinny and shorter than my gri-gri which will take some getting used to. Aside ftom that, very good device so far and has replaced my gri-gri for the time being due to its lighter weight and more compact size.
Better than a Gri-Gri

This thing is a lot better than the Gri-Gri for lead belaying. Pays out rope quickly when needed and arrests a lead fall very well. It's light weight and small size are a big plus for me. I would definitely recommend it to someone looking for an assisted braking device.
It's like a grigri, but tiny and light. Love it.

I work with a Search and Rescue rope rescue group. We use these type of devices for personal descent and ascent (progress capture). I also own a GriGri from Petzl (which I love, and still use for a lot of things).
This is a tiny, stripped down version. GREAT if weight savings is super important. Since I end up doing a lot of hiking on a search (and in most cases wont even need any climbing gear) light weight is super helpful to me. I trust this device implicitly and would gladly recommend it to anyone who needs a tool such as this.

Gives peace of mind to a diabetic climber/belayer

Works as advertised. I love it. It's easier to use than the grigri2 for belaying a lead climber. It does not require new muscle memory to pay out slack easily.
It provides nice soft catches reliably. It's an American company rather than French.
It's also lighter and more red.
As a diabetic I potentially run the risk of my blood sugars going low whilst belaying somebody and becoming unable to perform my duties as a belayer. While this has never happened before, it weighs heavily on my mind while I am responsible for somebody else's life. The lifeguard gives me assurance that even if I am incapacitated by falling rock or by my own terrible pancreas, my climber will be protected.
