The Edelrid Ohm is specifically designed for climbing partners with significant weight differences. This advanced assisted braking resistor amplifies braking power, ensuring that lighter belayers can effectively manage heavier lead climbers.
- Second-generation design with multiple enhancements
- Installs at the first bolt of the safety chain and pairs seamlessly with a belay device
- Swivel joint allows for free movement, eliminating concerns about clipping direction
- Locking system prevents accidental openings, facilitating easy rope insertion and removal
- Enables controlled lowering of heavier climbers, reducing collision risks during falls
- Minimizes forces exerted on the belayer, making it safer and more comfortable to use
- Compatible with single ropes ranging from 8.9 to 11 mm in diameter
With a minimum belayer weight of 88 lbs. (40 kg), the Edelrid Ohm effectively makes the belayer feel 55 lbs. (25 kg) heavier, enhancing overall climbing safety.
