7:38 She doesn't take back quickdraws ?

Too bad if undwr the load the knot slips all the way to the belay device. That could be a problem

I climbed it back in the 90s .. Only one mountain was as pulverized as Mt. Blanc .. The old ancient mountains of Greenland (even with a lower altitude they are dangerous).

Impressive!

What is that helmet? Some new version of sirocco?

Was that Lynn hill?

So, now the mixtake of not holding with the right hand ended 100% in fatal error. Amazing, such a big advance.

So the neox is more like the atc in the brake side ...if a rock hits you or a rattlesnake bites you and you let go of the brakeside the climber will fall to the ground if they fall at that moment...i like it but as a belayer id be much more comfortable with a grigri...just need to be better at giving slack

Please, tell me this song

What?????????? That may have officially sold me out of this product... Why buy a $120 ATC? Wow. Okay.

Looks nice! Any idea of how robust the neox wheel is towards dust? Specifically thinking of the ball bearings collecting dust while belaying outside.

Cracacá, cracacá....

"When I climb with a belayer I don't know I always watch what they are doing. If they let go of the break side of the rope, I won't let them belay me again. Never... Ever." Is one of the most German things I've heard, but in the best way

This is a double fisherman’s knot that can eventually be used for a prussik hitch, but currently this is just a loop of cord

did you carry all that stuff up there your self or was it already up there? (lol)

Assisted braking devices are nice in that they make belaying more comfortable. But for me, and I think many other people, the main value is the added safety. I almost always belay with an assisted braking device and prefer it if i'm being belayed by one. Yes, a good belayer should always be holding the brake strand. But we don't live in an ideal world, so that doesn't always happen. There's a chance that the belayer won't be properly holding the brake strand due to incompetence, laziness, or they could become incapacitated (rockfall/icefall). If that happens, it's nice to have a belay device that has a higher chance that the device will lockup on it's own in the event of a fall. It seems like the neox makes the belaying experience slightly better at the cost of decreasing the chances that it prevents injury/death.

*”it is not a device for self belay”* Clearly you get asked this a lot, it was my first question, and the first thing many of my friends had to ask. The fact that you made a point of saying this means you are aware that is what we want. So my question, if you are aware that many people want a self belay device, then why haven’t you made one? A device intended for lead rope solo, or one designed for top rope solo.

Nice!

Can I rappel with the Neox?

I just take a quick draw and clip the loop on the rope back to my belay loop.

escalade en isere tome 1 mentionned!!!!

Thank you

Thanks, great video and the Grigri has clearly established itself as THE belay device on the market for a good reason: Compared to an ATC or other older devices/ methods of belaying it provides a lot more safety, assuming you know how to use it properly. The big question with the Neox is: Does it provide the same reliabilty in terms of engaging in a fall scenario as the Grigri (+) when the belayer violates the brake hand principle? Clearly no good belayer should do that, but I see many people belaying not keeping their hand on the brake side of the rope at all times. It’s nice to feed out slack more quickly, but if this means less safety for me personally it’s not going to be worth it, as I can feed out all the slack needed easily with the Grigri already.

When I did my lead course few years ago my instructor among many other devices still had Grigri 1. It was clearly well used but still perfectly safe. Credit to Petzl for building gear that lasts this long. It doesn’t happen very often nowadays. I’m sure Neox will be the same

A slipknot would be better. No?

I'm confused, this is literally what you can do with (basically) every belaying device out there? The knot will stop it, even if there isn't a break, and it certainly isn't any different from doing this with a Gri?

Thanks for sharing this. Does the knot serve as a weight to keep that side downward and also a stopper in case of accidental rope slipping?

When the lab guy says "the Neox has no brain", perfect thing to add would be Vsauce music and "Or does it?"

Whoa! It's like that guy has actually climbed before... For an infomercial, I'm impressed! 🤣

Neox haters punching air right now.

Personally, I prefer a slip knot with a beaner through the loop for backup.

Tickets are booked for October. This video inspired me to go to Chamonix and take an ice climbing course! ❤❤🎉

Hate de pouvoir le tester

For only 130 euro 😅

Grigri 2(175g), Grigri+(200g), NEOX(235g)... the weight is going up iteration after iteration, it's kind of annoying

Can't they just be honest and call it the GriGri 3?

First two people to ever wear a helmet in Margalef.

Only for experienced climbers. Grigri is more universal and foolproof.

Essentially an atc with a lowering handle

it is not yet the definitive belay device. it's the cross between grirgri and revo but it doesn't solve the problems of both. for the grigri the problem is safety while for the revo it is the possibility of intentionally lock it. as you can see in the video, with the neox, if you don't hold the rope it doesn't lock while the revo always keeps the rope adherent to the pulley thanks to springs and guarantees locking. Despite this difference they are both CE EN 15151-1, for me comparable only if you hold the brake side of the rope... It is right to emphasize the fact of always holding the brake side of the rope but there are situations where the belayer can be compromised and not be able to do so, the outdoors always holds unexpected risks. for example a helmet can prevent you to get injured but it doesn't guarantee that you will be able to keep the belay under control. Whoever invents a revo with the possibility of controlling the locking action will have created the definitive belay device!!! Nerding apart i always love you petzl❤

Will the wheel need maintenance?

The place for that last quickdraw would have been the top anchor ring before clipping the PAS, not the belay loop...

Has this been tested with top-down belay and rappelling?

bleibt es blockiert wenn man als belayer mit dem Gerät in die erste exe gezogen wird?

Reject modernity, embrace tradition: shoulder belay

I'm a little skeptical about the new NEOX. I would have expected the device to be improved not only in terms of easier rope pull-out but also in terms of safety. I am a little disappointed by the elimination of the anti-panic lever and the fact that the rope slips when the brake hand principle is missing 😞

I tak znajdzie się mistrzu piszący na smartfonie 😂

Why is it called NEOX!!!?

I just bought a grigri+ for smoother lead belaying and now you launch this, you're torturing me petzl
