Edelrid
Ohm Assisted-Braking Resistor
Assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between the belayer and lead climber.
Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall, and lowering a heavier climber is much safer and 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 is not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)
Recommended weight difference (lead climber > belayer): 10 - 40 kg
Minimum weight belayer: 40 kg
For single ropes from 8.9 - 11.0 mm
Weight: 470 g
