Assisted-braking resistor for increasing rope friction when there is a large weight difference between the belayer and lead climber. In the event of a fall, the OHM increases the amount of rope friction so that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber without difficulty.

This is a pre order item. We will ship it when it comes in stock.
Additional Info

Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall

Lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control

OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain

Should a lead climber fall at the first bolt, the OHM significantly reduces the risk of a possible ground fall

Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)

Recommended weight difference (lead climber > belayer): 10–40 kg

Minimum belayer weight: 40 kg

For single ropes from 8.9–11.0 mm
