Detailed description
Description
- Ultra-light design:
– minimalist construction
– hot-forged aluminum
– weight: 59 g - A single device for all rope types:
– effective braking on half and twin ropes (7.5 mm or greater diameter)
– effective braking on single ropes (8.9 mm or greater diameter)
– can belay the leader, one or two seconds and can be used for rappelling
– independent and simultaneous belaying of two seconds in Reverso mode
– for swapping leads (team of 2), offers a quick transition from Reverso mode to belaying the leader - The V-shaped friction channels:
– give greater braking power on thin ropes
– adapt the braking power on larger diameter ropes
– increase the braking pressure on the ropes in Reverso mode - The asymmetric side grooves:
– increase the braking power for leader or top-rope falls, or while rappelling
– improve rope glide through device when taking up slack - Hole for releasing the device under load: allows a loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner
- Rope friendly, facilitates rope maneuvers and rappelling:
– will not twist the ropes regardless of the mode used
– separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling on two ropes - Intuitive use:
– Reverso mode aluminum attachment hole is easy to identify
– keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces risk of losing the device
– usage diagrams (standard belay and Reverso modes) engraved on device - Use with symmetrical locking carabiners (AmD or WILLIAM) to maximize efficiency
