Petzl Grigri Belay Device $94.95 The Grigri Belay Device, invented by Petzl, introduced a revolutionary technique of belaying and descending.

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 |

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. |

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 |

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.

Nanny Cams: Giving You Peace Of Mind While You’re Away From Your Child
Unfortunately, we live in a day and age in which we have to be extremely cautious about who we leave our kids with. It isn’t always obvious during the initial “babysitter interview” or through reference research to tell whether or not the candidate is 100% trustworthy, and such is the reason why nanny cams were created. You may have seen such security devices on tv or on the internet, and boy can they be useful! By setting up hidden cameras throughout your house, not only can you record your child’s care session, but also wirelessly uplink it to a website which you can view from your phone or laptop.
Chances are, if you have children and you have a nanny watching them, you often wonder what that nanny does with them. Oh, if only you could be a fly on the wall. Well, you sort of can be. Except, you are going to be a camera inside of a teddy bear. Chances are, that nanny is going to view that small teddy bear as being completely normal. You could even use this bear as decoration in your house, but whatever you do, make sure you put the teddy bear nanny cam in the room where your children spend the most time.
There are many nanny cams to choose from, it’s just a matter of deciding what your needs are, and then finding a product that meets them. For instance, you might want the flexibility of a wireless nanny cam so you don’t have wires running about the house, or so that you can have the image uploaded to the internet where you can check it from a phone or laptop. There are also a variety of shapes and sizes to consider when choosing your nanny cams, as well as price range.
We believe the teddy bear nanny cam is one of the best devices that has ever been invented. With the help of nanny cams, we are able to view our children when we are not at home. We are able to make sure that babysitter is not a babysitter from you know where.

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 |

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.

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 |
