Multipurpose belay/rappel device with innovative and compact design, suitable for use with half, twin and single ropes, for alpinism, trad and multipitch routes. Intuitive and easy to use, equipped with a modular braking system to optimize the braking action with any type of rope. It allows an independent and self-locking retrieval of the post climbers.
Features of the Climbing Technology Be Up belay device
- effective belaying of the lead climber. The special design of the device allows for a fluid, fast and smooth rope release
- during belaying of the leader in multipitch routes with double ropes, one rope can be released while the other remains blocked
- effective and modular rope braking by means of v-shaped grooves, specially designed for better control of the braking effect during fall arrest, when using double ropes and when retrieving the second climber
- independent and self-blocking recovery of one or two second climbers (guide mode). The particular geometry of the device and the attachment eye integrated into the body allow effective retrieval of one or two belayers with half or twin ropes, Ø ≥ 7.3 mm. It also allows one climber to be retrieved while the other is hanging in the rope.
- the release and progressive lowering of a second climber under traction, even into the void, without effort, with half ropes and twin ropes, Ø ≥ 7.3 mm. This manoeuvre makes BE UP unique, by inserting a simple HMS carabiner in the release eyelet.
- rapid change from guide mode to lead belay, when climbing with alternating lead ropes
- abseiling with double ropes, whereby the ropes are held separately. The v-shaped grooves allow efficient control of the abseil speed without twisting the ropes
Technical details / specifications:
- lighter and extremely functional shape, for an optimal use of use
- hot forged body, which gives optimal strength
- the fastening eye is integrated into the body, easy to identify, to prevent the risk of tying errors
- plastic-coated iron wire to prevent the device from being lost and to limit its movement when belayed
