Practical pre-setting resistor to increase rope friction when climbing, making belaying heavier partners child's play.
The Ohm from Edelrid is the ideal solution if you are a passionate climber but have difficulty finding a suitable climbing partner in your weight class. The Ohm is installed with a quickdraw in the first hook of the belay chain and its innovative functionality makes it much easier to hold and lower a climber.
In the event of a fall, the rope is pulled into the braking unit, progressively and dynamically slowing the fall. The special feature of the Ohm: It does not stop the rope abruptly, but regulates the throughput speed. This allows the belayer to effectively arrest the fall without being pulled upwards or against the wall in an uncontrolled manner.
The Ohm is for all those who want to play it safe when climbing. It increases friction in the safety chain and makes brakes on the rope lighter, regardless of the safety devices. Whether leading or lowering - the handling of the rope remains unaffected. The braking effect is only activated during a fall, which makes it much easier to control and lower a heavier person.
The name 'Ohm' stands for resistance, and that is exactly what this ingenious helper from Edelrid offers - resistance at the right moment, for perfect climbing harmony.
