Thanks to the same principle of knots, the Kong Slyde is an ingenious adjuster for ropes that reduces impact forces. It can be used with ropes with a diameter between 9mm and 10mm.
The user can self-make its own system that can be created choosing the most appropriate way for the situation on-point, by taking into account types of rope and connections, number of forces involved, weights, environmental conditions (wet, dust, snow… make the rope stiffer and not so sliding), wear, and what could happen during use. When correctly evaluated, those parameters allow to obtain a system fine-tuned according his requirements. Remember that the free rope end must not slip out from the SLYDE, while giving enough length to absorb the greatest foreseen shock!
Because it is not possible to test all configurations and uses, this device is not a PPE and it has not been tested according to EN958.
The Mammut Smart 2.0 is a reliable and intuitive belay device with a newly developed brake insert that blocks the rope in the event of a fall. This new version of the Smart belay device offers significantly improved braking effectiveness as well as optimized geometry and intuitive handling.

The Beal Birdie is a compact, brake-assisted belay device that's great for sport climbing and top roping. It's 100% metal construction with a stainless steel forged cam allows for much greater durability compared to other similar devices on the market. The Birdie allows for rope to exit along a straight axis which prevents and twisting or pig-tailing. Ergonomic and easy to use, the Birdie is an excellent choice for both beginners and more experienced climbers.
The Climbing Technology Alpine Up Kit is the most complete and versatile belay / rappel device ever produced. It has been developed especially for mountaineering and it can be used with half, twin and single ropes. Extremely advantageous, it allows self-locking abseiling and it can be used in three different belay modes, depending on the terrain.
The Climbing Technology Click Up Kit is a belay device with manual braking, especially designed for crag climbing. It can be used with Ø 8.6 ÷ 10.5 mm single ropes. It is compact and lightweight and allows for belaying a leader and belaying a top-roping climber with both hands handling the rope, or for lowering the climber.
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.
