The Edelrid Pinch belay device gives you a new belaying experience. The PINCH is the first device on the market that can be hooked directly into the central ring of the climbing harness. Because it is positioned close to the body and low, the PINCH does not need to be fixed when paying out the rope and the brake rope can always be grasped with all fingers. In addition, the compact belay system provides an increased span, allowing the belayer to pay out 20 - 30 cm more rope at once. The linear rope path through the frontal steel brake grooves reduces rope tangling when lowering and abseiling.
