CLICK UP is a belay device with manual braking, especially designed for crag climbing. It can be used with Ø 8.6 ÷ 10.5 mm single ropes. It is compact and lightweight and allows for belaying a leader and belaying a top-roping climber with both hands handling the rope, or for lowering the climber.
Main characteristics:
- It allows for quick and smooth paying out of the rope;
- It allows the belayer to arrest a fall holding with the hand the free end of the rope;
- The climber can be lowered off with a slight pressure on the device, keeping under tension the rope free end with the other hand;
- Optimized and suitable for Ø 8.6 ÷ 10.5 mm single ropes;
- If the rope is incorrectly installed in the device (the rope sides are inverted), thanks to the specific tapered (V-shaped) friction notches, effective belaying is still ensured, with safe braking and easy lowering of the climber.
Attention! Read carefully the device instructions before use.
CLICK UP is supplied and must be used together with the specific HMS carabiner CONCEPT SGL HC, with wear-resistant anodizing and ACL system that prevents the possibility of minor-axis cross-loading.
Here are the manufacturer instructions on how to use this device.
These are really designed for single rope climbing where this is worn in the chest area to assist in climbing a rope in a vertical fashion.
Lately, we have seen arborists using this in conjunction with a rope wrench to facilitate single rope climbing and used in the right knee area to assist climbing as well.
