- For belaying both lead and top rope climbers
- Optimally balanced design: lightweight (175 g), compact, and durable

- Easy to install the rope with diagram engraved on the belay device
- Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using techniques standard to all Petzl belay devices, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope
- Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the rope
- Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm - Descent control:
- Ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
