Edelrid Ohm

Edelrid OHM
Assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between 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.

Features:
• 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 weight belayer: 40 kg
• For single ropes from 8.9 - 11.0 mm

Specifications:
• Approved rope diameter [mm]: 8,9 - 11
• CE marking: CE 0123
• country of origin: Germany
• Weight: 470 g
