The Edelrid OHM II acts to increase rope friction between a belayer and the lead climber. This means that a far lighter belayer can hold a fall from a heavier leader without difficulty. The assisted-braking resistor for increasing the braking effect when climbing in rope teams with major weight differences has a swivel joint that improves the device’s freedom of movement. As a result, the clipping direction no longer matters when the device is clipped to the first bolt. It also means that the belayer can move freely on the ground to find the best belay position without worrying about short-roping you. The new locking system prevents the device from opening accidently and makes it far easier to insert the rope and remove the device when lowering. This new and updated version for 2024 makes the OHM easier to use than ever before.

Features

• Far lower forces are exerted on the belayer.
• Lowering a heavier person in a controlled manner is far easier.
• OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain.
• The device reduces the risk of a collision when falling on the first bolt.
• Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope).
• “Makes the belayer 25 kg heavier”.
• Minimum belayer weight: 40 kg.
• For single ropes from 8.9–11.0 mm.
