Best device I've used for lead belay
JonathanGee✓ Verified Purchase•October 31, 2023
I've used one of these off and on over the last year or so because a partner has one, and I finally got one for myself. It takes slack and lowers just like my beloved GriGri, but what makes it remarkable is how smoothly it FEEDS slack. The Vergo feeds slack just about as smoothly as an ATC, but without the risks associated with a tube device. You don't have to override the cam to give your climber enough slack, and the thing just feels great in my hand.
I can't recommend this enough.

Like a GriGri on toprope, totally unique on lead
Austin✓ Verified Purchase•October 30, 2023
This is the best climbing purchase I've made in awhile. On toprope it functions exactly like a GriGri so the muscle memory is already there, but with extra identifying marks to help new belayers better understand how to hold and set it up. On lead is where the Vergo really shines with a super simple motion to feed slack. I've been consistently impressed with how easy this thing is to use.
Great for lead belaying

I really like this belay device for lead belaying, rope feeds really smoothly.

Alan H.✓ Verified Purchase•September 29, 2023
I've used this device a couple of times already as a backup for self-belay and it works very well. It's a bit snug with a 10.2mm rope but that's to be expected with a thicker rope.
DO NOT BUY A GRIGRI. The Vergo is better.
Amazon Customer✓ Verified Purchase•September 23, 2023
GREAT PRODUCT. Some may disagree, but this is BETTER than ANY Grigri. This is also SAFER than any Grigri. Speaking from experience with both systems. DO NOT PAY EXTRA FOR A GRIGRI. The Grigri is becoming a fashion item, like beats headphones or iPhones. The simple fact is that the Trango Vergo is BETTER and MORE DURABLE. It feeds flawlessly (when used properly of course) and has little to no ways of overriding the auto braking system.
Bottom line: If I had to trust my life to someone who had never belayed before. I WOULD NOT TRUST THEM WITH A GRIGRI. I wouldn't mind if they were using the Vergo.
