Edelrid Ohm II Belay Device
Description
The Ohm II Belay Device, a second generation of Edlerid innovative and successful OHM is easier to use than ever thanks to a number of updates. The assisted-braking resistor for increasing the braking effect when climbing in rope teams with major weight differences has a swivel joint that improves the device’s freedom of movement. As a result, the clipping direction no longer matters when the device is clipped to the first bolt.
The locking system prevents the device from opening accidentally and makes it far easier to insert the rope and remove the device when lowering.
