Progressive descent control system is designed to offer smooth, even lowering action there s a larger sweet spot when lowering a climber or rappelling. Designed to work with single ropes between 8.9 and 11 mm (optimized for ropes between 9.4 and 103 mm) use it with your workhorse rope when top roping or use it with your skinny cord while working on your project. Assisted braking: during fall arrest, the belayer holds the brake side of the rope, the cam pivots and pinches the rope, increasing the braking action until the rope stops sliding. Stainless steel friction plate and cam ensure longevity.

Atc falling apparatus v shape friction groove reduces the wear of the rope in the fall and not easy to wrap rope together. Made of magnesium aluminum alloy, hot forged, high strengh. Ec type-examination certificate. Atc drop device design with rubber covered 0.4 cm steel wire rope, in the store equipment can be operated easily. Suitable for mountaineering, climbing, rescue or other outdoor activities. Atc falling apparatus of small structure, light weight, easy to carry.

Don’t panic: features an anti-panic handle. If the user pulls too hard on the handle the anti-panic function brakes and stops the descent. For all climbers: the grigri + is a belay device with assisted braking for indoors and outdoors. Choose your belay mode: top-rope or lead, thanks to the selection knob. The top-rope belay mode facilitates taking up slack and makes for a more comfortable belay. Lightweight and long-lasting: great durability for intensive use, thanks to the stainless steel wear plate.

The design makes possible to combine them with sun and eyeglasses. The high-quality prisms offer a clear image and comfortable vision on the climber. Accessory: rope retainer, glasses case, the high optic quality prims. The belay glasses offers more than the essential: the light and comfortable plastic frame makes the glasses unnoticeable. The thin frame enables two fields of vision: climber/surrounding.

V-shaped friction channels: increased friction on thin ropes. Friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes. Increases the locking pressure on the ropes in reverso mode. Ultra-light design: minimalist construction. Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls: increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling. Rope slides smoothly through device when taking up slack. Independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in reverso mode. Quick changeovers from reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes. A single device for all rope types: effective braking on half and twin ropes. Effective braking on single ropes. Can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be used for rappelling.

Durable cable holds its shape and resists getting caught between ropes, atc designed to feed smoothly while belaying or abseiling. Ce certification, rated strength: 25kn (about2500kg ). Rope diameter: 8~11mm (0.32~0.44inch). Application: rock climbing, caving, hiking, canyoning, outdoor training, engineering works, high-altitude operations, rescue, adventure etc. Material: aluminium and magnesium alloy forging, surface anodized oxidation, durable and lightweight.

Release lever mounted on spring for great precision when jamming/releasing the device. Technique identical to classic prusik pulley system; double rope technique only. Friction links provide progressive braking action for fluidity when moving around. Pulley mounted on sealed ball bearings to allow slack to be taken up easily.
