Product Description
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

Best husband belay accessory
We purchased the Ohm as my husband and I have a 30kg weight difference and I would fly to the 1st draw when belaying him on his projects. This cool little device is easy to use and attaches to the first draw adding friction to the system and stops me taking a whipper as a belayer. It still gives soft catches for the climber and will also save your marriage ;)

Amazing for light belayers
Great for belayers who are lighter. Really puts climber and belayer at ease. If used properly, you can still give a dynamic catch.
