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 Petzl Verso is a lightweight and compact belay device that can be used with one or two rope strands and also for rappelling. The Verso is the lightest belay device in Petzl's range and is easy to use. Its design allows the rope to glide smoothly through the device, reduces wear and is compatible with most rope diameters.

The Edelrid Giga Jul is a a versatile belay device that is a both a standard and assisted braking tuber in one. The assisted braking function which supports the braking force can be activated or disabled by an intelligent built-in mechanism. Great for situation-dependent belaying and abseiling, especially in alpine terrain.

The Petzl Grigri is n single rope belay device with an assisted braking system. The internal cam pinches the rope as it is weighted, pivoting the device. Along with good belaying technique, the assisted braking helps hold a climber and catch them in a fall. The progressive action of the cam allows gradual control when lowering a climber.

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.

The DMM Pivot belay device delivers confident belaying and effective stopping power whether used in guide mode, or belaying from the waist. Guide plates have traditionally been difficult to operate when lowering seconds. The Pivot's shackle reduces the force needed to initiate lowering, increasing control of the speed at which you lower your second.

The Mammut Smart 2.0 belay device is designed for simple and reliable rope control with intuitive handling. Its improved braking system helps lock the rope in the event of a fall, providing added confidence for the belayer. Lightweight and compact, it has no moving parts for straightforward use. Suitable for both lead and top rope climbing, it works with a wide range of rope diameters. A dependable choice for climbers looking for effective and easy to use belay performance.

The Black Diamond ATC-Alpine Guide is a slimmer, more compact and lighter version of BD's iconic ATC-Guide, the ATC-Alpine Guide is built for quick ascents in the mountains. This belay device is optimised for ropes between 8.1mm and 8.5mm yet works with ropes from 6.9mm to 9mm. The anchor-hole allows for easy feeding and pulling of rope, and the device's guide mode lets you belay one or two seconding climbers off any anchor.
