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).
