ALL CLIMBING SALES ARE FINAL. With the creation of the BRD by Metolius – we have achieved a simple – safe and bombproof belay/rappel device. The principle behind the BRD is very simple: as the load of a falling climber is applied – the carabiner is pulled into the scientifically engineered rope slots and the rope is squeezed between the carabiner and the BRD. The result is that a tremendous amount of friction is generated – allowing the belayer to easily catch long – hard falls with relatively light hand pressure. For rappelling – the BRD will give you a relatively slow and controlled (and we feel safer) rappel. If the rappel is moving too slowly – you can re-orient the device for a speedier descent. FEATURES of the BRD – Belay Rappel Device by Metolius A versatile – lightweight belay/rappel device w/engineered rope slots which means added control via increased friction on the rope Single or double rope compatible (8 mm to 11 mm ropes) Increased thermal mass and cooling fins to dissipate heat Hard anodized for longer wear CNC machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum Cooling fins to dissipate heat more efficiently Available with or without the Element locking carabiner SPECIFICATIONS: Weight: 2.9 oz.

The Fuse Belay Device by Mammut is a lightweight safety device that is designed for belaying with single or double ropes, and rappelling. The Fuse has a linear rope lead that avoids entangling and keeps ropes clean.
The Smart Belay Device by Mammut has been specially desgined to meet the needs of the constantly growing group of indoor and sport climbers. It dynamically brakes the climber in an accidental fall and locks even at low levels of force exerted by the user. In situations where the user has a sudden shock, the Smart Belay device corresponds to the reflex movements of the human body. Suitable for all current HMS carabiners and simple ropes from 8.9-10.5 mm in diameter.
The Grigri Belay Device, invented by Petzl, introduced a revolutionary technique of belaying and descending. Others have tried to copy but the Grigri remains a quantum leap ahead and is still the premium choice for a self-locking belay. The Grigri allows belaying and lowering of a climber even where the latter is heavier than the belayer. A handle allows easy control of the device and smooth running of the rope. The Grigri works somewhat like an automobile seat belt: when movements are slow, the rope runs freely through the device; when there is a shock load, the Grigri locks, jamming the rope with a cam.
The Trango Pyramid Belay Device could possibly be the best all around belay/rappel device on the planet. The Pyramid is light, compact, durable, and can smoothly handle just about any rope combination. Features machined cooling fins that work both to keep it cool and to make it less prone to being dropped. Pivoting center pin lets you flip it over to customize the feed of your ropes without affecting its stopping power. Rappeling is always controlled and jerk-free and the flat rope path virtually eliminates kinking. Elongated center pin makes it easy to rig with stiff or fat ropes and the burly retaining cable will last the life of the product.”The Trango Pyramid is a time honored design and for good reason ? its versatile and effective design still ranks at the top of the pack. The long tapered tube, which provides a smooth rope-bearing surface and features effective heat-dispersing metal fins, flips so that you can rig either the narrow end close to the biner for extra control or the wide end for quickly feeding rope. Using the narrow end can make for snaggy rope feeding, so judge your belay situation accordingly.” -Climbing Magazine

ALL CLIMBING SALES ARE FINAL. The SBG II Belay – Rappel Device by Omega Pacific incorporates a rigid stem allowing climbers to go from full lock-off to whipping out rope in a single – smooth action – no more binding up as the device tries to free itself. The amount of friction can be completely adjusted to suit your particular need. Does your climber outweigh you? Are you using skinny ropes? Then set up the brake line through the V-Slots. Clipping in short (into the oblong hole in the center of the stem) adds even more braking power. Climbing with fat ropes – a skinny partner or on low-angle slabs? Then belay off the U-Grooves and clip into the bottom hole of the SBGII for less friction. If you’ve ever rapped on a single 8mm or 9mm rope with other belay devices – you know what a fast and loose ride that can be. With the SBGII – wrap that skinny cord around the rigid stem and rappel – figure-8 style – for the ultimate in control and safety.

The Fuse Belay Device by Mammut is a lightweight safety device that is designed for belaying with single or double ropes, and rappelling. The Fuse has a linear rope lead that avoids entangling and keeps ropes clean.
The Smart Belay Device by Mammut has been specially desgined to meet the needs of the constantly growing group of indoor and sport climbers. It dynamically brakes the climber in an accidental fall and locks even at low levels of force exerted by the user.

The Grigri Belay Device, invented by Petzl, introduced a revolutionary technique of belaying and descending. Others have tried to copy but the Grigri remains a quantum leap ahead and is still the premium choice for a self-locking belay. The Grigri allows belaying and lowering of a climber even where the latter is heavier than the belayer. A handle allows easy control of the device and smooth running of the rope. The Grigri works somewhat like an automobile seat belt: when movements are slow, the rope runs freely through the device; when there is a shock load, the Grigri locks, jamming the rope with a cam.

The Trango Pyramid Belay Device could possibly be the best all around belay/rappel device on the planet. The Pyramid is light, compact, durable, and can smoothly handle just about any rope combination. Features machined cooling fins that work both to keep it cool and to make it less prone to being dropped. Pivoting center pin lets you flip it over to customize the feed of your ropes without affecting its stopping power. Rappeling is always controlled and jerk-free and the flat rope path virtually eliminates kinking. Elongated center pin makes it easy to rig with stiff or fat ropes and the burly retaining cable will last the life of the product.”The Trango Pyramid is a time honored design and for good reason ? its versatile and effective design still ranks at the top of the pack. The long tapered tube, which provides a smooth rope-bearing surface and features effective heat-dispersing metal fins, flips so that you can rig either the narrow end close to the biner for extra control or the wide end for quickly feeding rope. Using the narrow end can make for snaggy rope feeding, so judge your belay situation accordingly.” -Climbing Magazine

The 10mm Supernova Rope by Mammut is an incredibly well made dynamic rope that is perfect for beginners to seasoned climbers alike. Mammut starts by using only the most high quality Polyamide nylon for the production of their ropes, and their exclusive coating finish process coats each individual rope strand with the highly durable Teflon in order to reduce chafing and improve friction co-efficiency. Mammut’s ropes all have middle marking for easy view of the center of your rope, great for rappelling or noting how much rope is left when on a multi-pitch. Besides just getting an awesome rope, Mammut is also throwing in a rope bag with a super big tarp to keep your rope and gear on when climbing. A rope bag is key to keeping the life of your rope at its optimal performance.
The Mammut Supersafe Rope is as innovative as it gets when it comes to making sure your climbing experience is safe and injury free. Due to the Teflon coated fibers which reduces internal friction, the Supersafe rope will be less likely to core shot during big falls and will maintain flexbility and easy handling in whatever situation you are climbing in. The Supersafe is also Superdry treated so it will not absorb water, making it stronger and less resistant to wear and tear. Super durable, incredibly strong and coated to prevent water damage. To help prevent rappelling accidents or lowering off the end of the rope, there is a Triosafe color marking in the middle and 5 meters from each end. The last 5-7 meters of the rope are the danger zone.
