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

To help facilitate descents – the middle of each Petzl cord is marked with a black bar. Even with this marking – it’s sometimes a good idea to tie a knot at the end of the rope as an additional safety measure.

Tying a rope on a tree branch…?

I have a rope that I am trying to hang up on a tree branch. I want to use this rope so that I can practice climbing it up using only my arms (training for a sport). The problem is, I am having trouble tying it onto the branch. I know there is a way that you just throw one end of the rope over the branch and then make a knot that slides up but I’m not sure how to do it. Any help? Thanks

Ok, throw the rope over the tree branch, so that you can hold both ends as they dangle down. Then tie a slip knot in one end of the rope. If you don’t know how to tie a slip knot, see this video:

http://iwillknot.com/slip_knot/

Once you have your slip knot in one end of the rope, thread the other end of the rope thru the center of the slip knot. Then tighten the slip knot around the rope, but not all the way tight. Leave some slack for the rope to slip through. The pull on the end of the rope you have just put thru the center of the slipknot. This will cause the slipknot to go up to the branch and tighten as you put pressure on the rope.

A couple of warnings I feel compelled to make here. Test the branch to make sure it’s good and strong. Even thick branches can be weaker than they look, before you do a climb.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
