Ultra light, multi-purpose belay/rappel device, with range of friction adapted to different rope
This multi-purpose belay/rappel device is lightweight and easy to use. The asymmetric V-shaped grooved friction channels regulate the amount of braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and condition.
Features:
Ultra-light design
Minimalist construction
Hot-forged aluminum
72 g
A single device for all rope types
Effective braking on half and twin ropes = 7,5 mm
Effective braking on single ropes = 8,9 mm
Can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be
Used for rappelling
Independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in Reverso mode
Quick change-overs from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes
V-shaped friction channels
Increased friction on thin ropes
Friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
Increased holding power in Reverso mode
Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls
Increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
Rope smoothly slides through device when taking up slack
Carabiner hole to release device when loaded in Reverso mode: allows the loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner
Rope friendly: will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling
Intuitive: Reverso mode attachment point is easy to identify
keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces chances of losing the device
