An incredibly lightweight and versatile belay device that suits just about any rope and climbing situation. The V-shaped friction channels give smooth and effective braking from thin to thick ropes and the asymmetrically grooved sidewalls increase braking power during a fall or when abseiling yet still allow smooth rope slide during belaying.
With the Reverso in normal mode you can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and also abseil. In Reverso mode (or remote belay) you bring up one or two second climbers in comfort and safety on multi pitch routes then simply switch to normal mode on the changeover to belay the leader. The smaller karabiner hole allows for easy for and smooth release of rope when heavily loaded in Reverso mode.
The Reverso is very kind to your rope, it will not kink or twist even when using two different diameter ropes and it separates the strands nicely when belaying and abseiling.
Ultra-light design:
- minimalist construction
- hot-forged aluminum
- Weight: 59 g
A single device for all rope types:
- effective braking on half and twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm
- effective braking on single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
- can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be used for rappelling
- independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in Reverso mode
- quick changeovers from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes
V-shaped friction channels:
- increased friction on thin ropes
- friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
- increases the locking pressure on the ropes in Reverso mode
Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:
- increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
- rope slides smoothly through device when taking up slack
Carabiner hole allows the loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner
Rope friendly, allows for smooth belaying and rope handling:
- will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
- separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling
Intuitive use:
- Reverso mode aluminum attachment point is easy to identify
- keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces chances of losing the device
- usage diagrams (standard belay and Reverso modes) engraved on device
