Trango Cinch Belay Device (Spring 2010)


$84.95


The Cinch Belay Device by Trango is the latest in a long line of innovative belay devices introduced by Trango. We designed it with an eye for function – aesthetics and simplicity (It’s about as complicated as a door hinge.) so it offers up a secure belay for UIAA/CE certified single ropes. On smaller diameter ropes – or when holding falls that generate extremely high loads (In excess of factor 1) the Cinch acts dynamically – reducing shock loads to the belay system. In addition it will release easily and modulate fluidly while you’re rappelling or lowering off. The Cinch feeds rope easier than any other device – fits nicely in your hand and weighs 182gm. SPECIFICATIONS of the Cinch Belay Device by Trango Weight: 182gm / 6.42o Recommended Single Rope Diameter: 9.4 – 11mm Use with caution on ropes 9.4mm Do not use with half or twin ropes CE ALL CLIMBING SALES ARE FINAL.

Trango B-52 Belay Device (Spring 2010)


$18.95


The B-52 Belay Device by Trango has been recently updated. The B-52 is the first belay device designed from a total performance point-of-view and with the refinements we’ve made recently – its even better. We’ve beefed up the small end of the device or added durability and subtly rounded the edges and curves making it even smoother to operate. Rappelling with the B-52 is a thing of beauty. We’ve all gotten used to the jerky-at-the top/terrifying-at-the-bottom rappel sequence offered up by most belay/rappel devices. The B-52 changes all that with extremely smooth starts and controlled descents all the way down. For advanced climbers and guides doing multi-pitch routes – the B-52 can be used as an in.autobloc in. device that will lock the rope automatically when the leader is belaying one or two seconds. In a pinch – the B-52 can be used as an emergency ascender. FEATURES of the B-52 Belay Device by Trango Positive stop with a wide variety of rope diameters Lightweight Emergency ascender Blissfully smooth rappels with all your different ropes Autobloc Easy to rig SPECIFICATIONS: Weight: 2.5 oz/ 71 g Strength: 23 kN ALL CLIMBING SALES ARE FINAL.

Omega Pacific SBG II Belay/Rappel Device


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

Trango Pyramid Belay Device


Trango Pyramid Belay Device


$16.95


The Trango Pyramid Belay Device could possibly be the best all around belay/rappel device on the planet.

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)


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


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

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
