Edelrid Ohm II Assisted Braking Resistor - Blue

The Edelrid Ohm II is a revolutionary assisted braking resistor designed to mitigate weight differences between the belayer and climber, enhancing safety and control during roped climbing. This innovative device dynamically increases friction in the event of a fall, providing a smoother and more controlled belay experience, especially when the belayer is significantly lighter than the climber. Made in Germany with a durable aluminum body and steel friction elements, the Ohm II is compatible with all common belay devices and single ropes from 8.9 to 11.0 mm diameter. Its compact design attaches directly to the first quickdraw or bolt in the rope chain, integrating seamlessly into your climbing setup.

Advantages

The Ohm II offers unparalleled safety by automatically adjusting braking force based on the load, reducing the risk of a hard catch or dropping the climber. It allows climbers and belayers of different weights to climb together confidently, expanding your climbing partnership possibilities. The device is easy to install and use, requiring no special techniques or adjustments. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance even in demanding outdoor conditions.

Suitable for

• Sport climbing and top-roping where weight differences between belayer and climber exist (10-40 kg recommended)
• Climbing gyms and outdoor crags for enhanced safety
• Pairs and groups with varying body weights
