Assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between belayer and lead climber. In the event of a fall, the OHM increases the amount of rope friction so that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber without difficulty.
- Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall.
- Lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control.
- OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain. Should a lead climber fall at the first bolt, the OHM significantly reduces the risk of a possible ground fall.
- Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope).
- Recommended weight difference (lead climber > belayer): 10-40 kg
- Minimum weight belayer: 40 kg
- For single ropes with a diameter of 8.9-11 mm
- Certification: CE 0123
