Petzl Grigri Belay Device
$94.95
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.

Trango Pyramid Belay Device
$16.95
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

Description of DMM V Twin Belay DeviceThe V Twin is a variable friction belay device. It is made from stainless steel for durability and better heat dissipation.

This unit works well on all ropes from skinny 8.0s to fat 10.5s – as usual all the DMM office personnel were roped in to test this comprehensively at the local wall, however the prize goes to Mr. Desroy for taking repeated falls onto a (backed-up) new 8.0mm rope…. It uses the same nylon covered retaining wire as that used on the Bug because this has a proven history of good durabilityFeatures:Weight: 88gDesigned for 8.0 to 10.5mm ropes.Manufactured from stainless steel using lost wax investment casting

Metolius BRD – Belay Rappel Device (Spring 2010)
$19.95
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.

Omega Pacific SBG II Belay/Rappel Device
$18.95
New and improved, Omega Pacific’s SBGII is the smoothest & most versatile belay device available! Based on a design by Greg Lowe.By incorporating a rigid stem on this device,climbers can go from full lock-off to whipping rope out in a single, smooth action, no more binding up as the device tries to free itself! And the amount of friction can be completelyadjusted 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 for less friction and clip into the bottom hole of the SBGII! And if you’ve ever rapped on a single 8mm or 9mm ropes with a traditional belay device, 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.”Unlike the keeper loops that all the other devices in our test utilize, the SBG II features a solid-metal stem, which renders the durability issue moot. The stem has two clip-in points ? one at the end for belaying and rappelling with single ropes, and one in the center for belaying with skinny double ropes. The tube features deep rope-controlling jaws on one side and rounder and feeding-friendly grooves on the other, so you can rig accordingly. The one downside to the SBG II is its complicated feature set ? take time to read the instructions so you get full value.” -Climbing Magazine

Omega Pacific SBG II Belay/Rappel Device
$18.95
New and improved, Omega Pacific’s SBGII is the smoothest & most versatile belay device available! Based on a design by Greg Lowe.By incorporating a rigid stem on this device,climbers can go from full lock-off to whipping rope out in a single, smooth action, no more binding up as the device tries to free itself! And the amount of friction can be completelyadjusted 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 for less friction and clip into the bottom hole of the SBGII! And if you’ve ever rapped on a single 8mm or 9mm ropes with a traditional belay device, 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.”Unlike the keeper loops that all the other devices in our test utilize, the SBG II features a solid-metal stem, which renders the durability issue moot. The stem has two clip-in points ? one at the end for belaying and rappelling with single ropes, and one in the center for belaying with skinny double ropes. The tube features deep rope-controlling jaws on one side and rounder and feeding-friendly grooves on the other, so you can rig accordingly. The one downside to the SBG II is its complicated feature set ? take time to read the instructions so you get full value.” -Climbing Magazine

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

Metolius BRD – Belay Rappel Device (Spring 2010)
$19.95
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.

Mountaineers Books Alpine Climbing: Techniques to Take You Higher
$21.95
Description of Mountaineers Books Alpine Climbing: Techniques to Take You HigherThis intermediate-level guide addresses tools, skills, and techniques used in alpine terrain including rock, snow, ice, and glaciers at moderate altitude-approximately 5000 meters (16,000 feet) and lower. The technical protection systems are covered, of course. But 30 years of alpine climbing experience has convinced the authors that mastery-and safety-lie in the far more difficult task of knowing exactly which techniques to use, where and when. Therefore, they teach step-by-step decision-making skills, providing scenarios, checklists, and self-posed questions to inform the decision process. Alpine Climbing assumes some prior knowledge, primarily in rock climbing skills and techniques. Basic knots, belaying, rappelling, building rock anchors, leading, placing rock protection, and movement skills on rock: variations of these skills that are of particular value in the alpine environment are addres
