Edelrid Ohm Assisted Braking Resistor – Green
Description
Features
- Specifically designed for climbing partners of differing weights, the Edelrid Ohm assisted braking resistor increases the braking effect so a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber.
- Assisted braking resistor increases the braking effect when climbing in rope teams with major weight differences
- Second generation design features a number of updates
- Designed to be installed in the first bolt of the safety chain and used in conjunction with a belay device
- Swivel joint improves the device’s freedom of movement
- Clipping direction no longer matters when the device is clipped to the first bolt
- Locking system prevents the device from opening accidentally and makes it far easier to insert the rope and remove the device when lowering
- Allows for easier lowering of a heavier person in a controlled manner
- Reduces the risk of a collision when falling on the first bolt
- Far lower forces are exerted on the belayer
- Does not restrict handling when lead climbing—there is no rope friction when paying out the rope
- Makes the belayer 55 lbs. (25 kg) “heavier”
- Minimum belayer weight: 88 lbs. (40 kg)
- For single ropes with a diameter of 8.9—11 mm
Specifications
