Details

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.

Features

  • Far lower forces are exerted on the belayer
  • Lowering a heavier person in a controlled manner is far easier
  • OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain
  • The device reduces the risk of a collision when falling on the first bolt
  • Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)
  • “Makes the belayer 25 kg heavier”
  • Minimum belayer weight: 40 kg
  • For single ropes from 8.9–11.0 mm

Specifications

  • Weight: 450 g
  • Approved rope diameter: 8,9 - 11 mm
  • Made in Germany

Can the Ohm & Ohm II be used for top-rope climbing?

Yes, the Ohm can be used in a top-rope scenario when there is a significant weight difference between a heavier climber and a lighter belayer. To set it up, clip the belay strand of the rope through the Ohm and onto the first bolt. As the heavier climber ascends, the belayer pulls in the rope as usual. If the climber falls, the Ohm will be pulled upward, adding friction and reducing the force that reaches the belayer.
