Edelrid  Ohm Assisted Braking Resistor

• 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 restricted 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
