The Petzl Grigri + is a cam-assisted belay device designed for top rope and lead climbing indoors or outdoors. Its Assist + mode makes taking in slack easier, while the anti-panic handle provides additional control when lowering a climber. The ergonomic handle and 3:1 mechanical advantage help deliver smooth and controlled descents. Suitable for 8.5-11mm single dynamic ropes, it is an ideal choice for developing confident belay skills.

The Edelrid Ohm was developed in collaboration with the Institute of Mechanical Handling and Logistics in Germany. With several updates, this second generation of the innovative and successful Ohm is now more user-friendly than ever. Designed to enhance the braking effect when climbing in teams with significant weight differences, the assisted-braking resistor features a swivel joint that improves freedom of movement. Consequently, the direction in which the device is clipped to the first bolt is no longer important.

The Beal Birdie is a compact belay device with assisted braking for lead and top roping. It is also ergonomic for a better grip and can be used with all dynamic single ropes, with a diameter of 8.5 to 10.5mm. Each of these belayers has its own individual number that guarantees its traceability. Entirely made of metal, with cam and friction components in stainless steel for great durability. The rope exits following the device’s axis, to avoid twisting.
