Edelrid Ohmega

Rethink belaying - weighing in at barely 190 g, the compact OHMEGA is a
highly versatile brake assistant suitable for use by a wide target
group. Whether in climbing gyms, at the crag, or on alpine sport
climbing routes (when using a single rope), it offers genuine added
value in terms of safety and comfort for both climbers and belayers.
This benefits beginners, experienced climbers, and pros as well as rope
parties with and without a weight difference. The integrated HMPE sling
enables users to switch between three different braking levels with a
simple hand movement to suit the weight distribution. The integrated
pulley keeps the friction generated at the first bolt lower than when
using a quickdraw, so users won’t notice the OHMEGA when climbing or
clipping, even on long and difficult routes. Thanks to the short HMPE
sling and the resultant minimal activation distance, the belayer finds
it easier to belay dynamically and softly, reducing the risk of
impact-induced injuries. In the event of a fall, the cam brakes the
fall, supporting the belayer and balancing out weight differences. As a
result, the belayer won’t be pulled off the ground in the event of a big
fall. With falls from a low height, the braking effect of the OHMEGA
reduces the risk of both the climbing partners colliding and the climber
hitting the ground. The OHMEGA also brakes reliably if the climber
falls into the device.
