EDELRID Ohm II Assisted-Braking Resistor Belay Device
Elevate your climbing safety and confidence with the EDELRID Ohm II, the revolutionary assisted-braking resistor designed to level the playing field for climbing partners with significant weight differences. Perfect for any rope team, the Ohm II is an essential piece of climbing equipment that enhances belay control without interfering with the natural flow of climbing, ensuring a safer and more enjoyable experience for both the climber and the belayer.
The Ohm II is not a traditional belay device; it is an innovative solution that is installed in the rope system at the first bolt. In the event of a leader fall, it significantly increases rope friction, preventing the lighter belayer from being pulled sharply off the ground and slammed into the wall. This allows the belayer to control the fall of a much heavier partner with greater ease and security, reducing the risk of an uncontrolled descent and potential ground-fall. Despite its powerful braking assistance during a fall, the Ohm II has no negative impact on rope handling while paying out slack, allowing for smooth and unhindered movement for the lead climber.
The second generation of our innovative and successful OHM is easier to use than ever thanks to a number of updates.
The assisted-braking resistor for increasing the braking effect when climbing in rope teams with major weight differences has a swivel joint that improves the device´s freedom of movement.
As a result, the clipping direction no longer matters when the device is clipped to the first bolt.
The locking system prevents the device from opening accidentally and makes it far easier to insert the rope and remove the device when lowering.
This enhanced design ensures that transitions are seamless and operation is intuitive, even in high-stress situations. Lowering a climber is also noticeably more controlled, as the device helps manage the rope speed, adding another layer of safety and comfort to your climbing system. The Ohm II is the ultimate tool for enabling partners of all sizes to climb together safely and with complete peace of mind.
