PETZL Reverso Belay Device
Discover the iconic PETZL Reverso, the ultra-light, multi-purpose belay and rappel device engineered for climbers who demand versatility, reliability, and minimal weight. A staple on racks worldwide, the Reverso is designed to be the single solution for all your belaying and rappelling needs, from single-pitch sport routes to committing alpine and multi-pitch adventures. Its intuitive design and advanced functionality make it an essential piece of climbing equipment for both novice and expert climbers.
The multi-purpose, lightweight REVERSO is a belay/rappel device designed for belaying and rappelling. It excels in a wide range of climbing disciplines. For standard belaying, its V-shaped friction grooves with asymmetrical side channels provide excellent friction and control when belaying a leader, allowing you to give slack smoothly and catch falls securely. When it´s time to descend, the Reverso offers a controlled and smooth rappel, giving you the confidence needed on long abseils. Crucially, its specialized design ensures it will not twist the ropes regardless of the mode used, preventing frustrating tangles and preserving the life of your ropes.
Where the Reverso truly distinguishes itself is in its guide-mode functionality. The innovative Reverso mode allows independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers directly from an anchor. This mode offers an assisted-braking feature, which helps the belayer hold a fall or hang-dogging second with significantly less effort, increasing safety and efficiency at belay stances. This makes it an indispensable tool for guides and recreational multi-pitch climbers alike, streamlining rope management and enhancing overall security on the wall.
Thoughtfully designed for real-world use, the Reverso is incredibly lightweight, tipping the scales at a mere 57 grams, helping you keep your rack as light as possible for demanding climbs. An integrated cable helps limit the risk of dropping the device—a critical feature when you´re hundreds of feet off the ground. Its exceptional versatility is further highlighted by its broad rope compatibility. It is compatible with most dynamic rope diameters, making it a future-proof choice that adapts to your climbing style.
