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

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
