Belay device and descender

Belay device for the leader or the second, descender. For use with single or double ropes.

Multipurpose device: belaying the leader, one or two seconds, or as a descender.

Attachment point for direct attachment to belay (for belaying one or two seconds in self-braking mode).

Separation of ropes for easier clipping of alternate points and avoids crossing of the ropes when rappelling.

Grooved spacers allow excellent control of the rope for rappelling and lowering.

Does not twist the ropes.

Self-braking belay device

Device for belaying a leader or a second and for single rope descents.

Self-braking system: if the rope suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall), the cam pivots to pinch the rope, thus helping the belayer stop the climber's fall.

Usage is similar to that of conventional belay devices:

giving/taking slack is done by using both hands to slide the rope through the device,

falls are held by holding the free end of the rope,

for lowering and rappelling, the rate of descent is controlled by the hand holding the free end of the rope (the rope is released with the handle).
