How worn is your Gri Gri? Many of us keep using our Gri Gri’s even though they begin to show major wear and tear. The most common signs are a big rope groove, and wearing of the cam. So we’ve partnered with Petzl to help promote safety and get those old Gri Gri’s off the street. Send us photos of your worn Gri Gri’s, and the most worn will win a new Gri Gri, thanks to Petzl. The second and third place winners will get Reverso’s, ’cause let’s face it, you need to retire those things!

Petzl has a good video on their website detailing what to look for when inspecting your Gri Gri. A little bland, but you get the idea. Also, a few excellent pictures of the most horrendously worn Gri Gri I’ve ever seen.

To enter, simply send us jpeg images, no bigger than 400 pixels wide, to contest@splitterchoss.com. We’ll post the images below with commentary from Petzl’s Technical Information Manager, Rick Vance, to get his take on how bad these things actually are. The deadline for submission is December 1st, when our illustrious judges at Petzl will then let us know who the lucky winners are.
