Features

  • 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

Works!

Use this when the weight difference is too great. Works both indoors and outdoors!

Not OHM, OHM ll

This looks like the Ohm ll rather than the Ohm. Issue with that, is that Ohm ll is different from Ohm
