A multifunctional belay/rappel device for 1 or 2 climbers, the Petzl Reverso belay device is a lightweight, durable option for cragging, multipitch climbing and mountaineering.
- Device can be used for classic belaying, rappelling or for independent, simultaneous belaying of 1 or 2 second climbers in Reverso mode, commonly used on multipitch climbs
- While belaying in Reverso mode, a carabiner placed in the release hole allows the belayer to give slack when the device is under tension
- Rounded rope slot design allows rope to glide smoothly, limiting wear and extending the life of the device
- Rope installation diagrams for belaying and Reverso mode are engraved on the device for ease of use
- V-shaped friction grooves enable controlled braking
- Compatible with dynamic single ropes 8.5-10.5 mm (possibly up to 11 mm, depending on the rope's suppleness), dynamic half ropes 7.1-9.2 mm and dynamic twin ropes 6.9-9.2 mm

Great for multipitch climbing
1 year ago
For multipitch climbing, this is as good as it gets. Lighter and better than the competition, made in Europe. I prefer the horizontal orientation of the rear ring while bringing up a follower/second. This is for fast and light missions, and great for rapping.
