Edelrid Ohmega Belay Assist Device - Oasis

The Edelrid Ohmega is a belay assist device designed for lead climbing, providing increased friction to assist the belayer when climbing with heavier partners. It is installed at the first quickdraw and acts as a friction-increasing resistor, reducing the impact force on the belayer during a fall. The device is made from high-strength aluminum and steel, ensuring durability and low maintenance. Compatible with single ropes from 8.9 to 11 mm, it is certified to EN 15151-1 and UIAA standards. The Ohmega is simple to install and operate, making it an essential tool for improving belay control and safety.

Advantages

The Ohmega enhances belay safety by increasing friction for heavier climbers, reducing the force transmitted to the belayer. Its robust construction ensures long-lasting performance, and its straightforward design makes it easy to use even in demanding situations.

Suitable for

• Lead climbing with significant weight differences between belayer and climber
• Climbers seeking improved belay control and reduced impact forces
• Use with single ropes ranging from 8.9 to 11 mm in diameter
