    • This has become my go-to belay device.
After a bunch of research, I purchased the Edelrid GigaJul for gym and real-rock sport climbing. This device is super versatile, but what I like most about it, is the fact that it locks up solid on a fall. For lead climbing, paying out and taking in slack is an afterthought since the device feels like a standard ATC. When lowering, the thumb hook lever works well to control the rate of descent. Our group of climbers liked this device so much that everyone has purchased a Gigajul. Of course there is a slight learning curve to this device, but it’s little more than one would encounter learning to use an ATC. ... show more

    • Jack Of All Trades…
Jack of all trades… master of none. This is the best “all around “, “do it all” belay device that we’ve ever owned. In fact my wife and I each have one. The important thing to remember is that when you’re trying to be pretty good at most things, it’s hard to be really great at any one specific task. And that holds true with the GigaJul. It’s pretty good at everything. But it’s not the best at any one thing. As with all belay devices, the rope you use will have an impact on it’s performance. We use Tendon ropes. And 90% of the time we are using a Tendon Master Pro 9.2mm rope. (Which is the best all around cord on the market IMHO) . Lead Belaying from the ground is great with the GigaJul, it feeds well, you can pay out slack quickly with no issues. And the assisted breaking works just fine. Top rope belaying is a little tougher though. It’s harder to pull slack through than other tube style devices. There’s more friction for some reason. And the extra effort it takes can wear your arms out after a while. And over the course of a full day of climbing, it will take a toll on you. When using it in guide mode (belaying a second climber from above) its great. No issues. It works pretty much just like an ATC Guide. There may be a little bit more resistance when pulling slack through, but it’s not bad at all. The GigaJul’s performance while rappelling was the real surprise for me. It took some getting used to, and changing some of my techniques, but now it’s the only device I use for rappelling. In the past, when I was still using the DMM Pivot or Wild Country Pro Lite Guide, i would always extend my rappel and use a prusik. Especially if I was cleaning a route. I tried that same technique with the GigaJul initially, and found it to be less than ideal. Then I saw a YouTube video of a guy who used the GigaJul and he rappelled with it directly on his belay loop. He also put it in auto locking mode and didn’t use a prusik. I tried that out the next time I used it to rappel, and it worked perfectly. You have to get used to the mechanics of it, but I think it’s worth the effort. I back up my belay loop with a sling, and am good to go. And the assisted breaking feature works great on a rappel. I haven’t used a prusik or “third hand” since I started using the GigaJul like this for rappels. I feel completely comfortable doing things that, but you should definitely always do whatever you think is the safest thing for yourself and your situation. So the GigaJul is not the best at any one thing (except maybe as a rappel device imho), but it’s pretty good at most things. It’s the best “do it all” device I’ve seen so far. I would suggest that you make checking the position of the auto locking slider part of your standard safety checks though. You definitely want to know for sure which mode it is in before you start climbing. I definitely recommend giving this thing a shot. The level of functionality it provides at this price point is simply unmatched in my opinion. ... show more

    • Favorite belay device
Easy to use, great for lead or sport, indoor or outdoor. Used on trad multi pitch, sport multi pitch. Easy repel, works well in guide mode. Solid piece of gear. Assisted break works well, but slips a little more then my old megajuul.

    • Cheaper and intuitive, great alternative of GriGri
If you are used to ATC type of belaying and don't quite like Grigri (like me), this one is smooth af and gives extra layer of protection and free your arm from long proj. (But don't let your break hand go)

    • Very versatile device
One of the best for someone just getting into outdoor climbing with both manual and assisted braking modes. Better for rappelling than the single piece megajul. Also can be used in guide mode. Although with the many different functions of the device it isnt the best in the world at any of them individually; mainly its heavy compared to most other devices. It is however cheaper and lighter than a grigri or other active brake assist devices and not much more expensive than some guide style belay devices. It is a great device overall and well worth its cost just dont get it as a gym climber or something like that. If you value your money do your research before buying a belay device because the best one really depends on your personal usage of one. A grigri is great all around and so is any tubular style device (atc or similar) this device will get you through just about any situation. I really only gave it five stars because who can really trust that five star reviews weren’t put there by the manufacturer its a wonderful general purpose device. ... show more

    • Used it for belaying A LOT and it’s held up extremely well
I work as an instructor at a gym and I got it to be multi use, when belaying kids they were always too light for the grigri, or my pilot, and sometimes even standard ATC’s. This guy does it all. For my adult friends, the assisted brake is wicked to have both on lead and top rope. Paying out rope is so smooth and seamless especially in brake mode. I even use it for top rope solo (self belay) and damn does it lock really really well. Only downside being you have to pull your own slack, but for what it does Im mighty impressed ... show more

    • Versatile
I found myself reach for the giga Jule on many occasions and on the last climb, frogland 7 pitches I used it exclusively. The brake assist mode changes to guide mode take some effort to remember though.

    • Great device.
This works great and is easy to use and does everything as advertised. The only thing I wish was different to earn a 5-star rating is sizing. I wish they made the sizing a bit larger. I use this at the climbing gym. A new 9.8 or 10 sized rope slides easy but as the rope gets used it tends to widen. This translates to half the ropes at the climbing gym being too thick for the device. If you are climbing at the gym a lot I would honestly not buy this because of this issue. Would love an extra millimeter of room where the rope slides are. Then I would rate this a 5-star product. ... show more
