A versatile modern device that utilises an asymmetric wedge shape to give two distinct options for both belaying or abseiling - one 'slick' for fast rope manipulation the other 'forgiving' for greater braking potential in the event of a fall. Weight: 63 gms. Designed for use with single or double 8.0 mm - 11.0 mm ropes. | Site | Price | Postage | Total |

General comments: Easy to use, two friction modes are set just right. I tend to use the slick mode as it gives a better dynamic belay.
Pros: Easy to belay with and use for adseiling
Cons: Scratches easily

Reviewed by Alex C (Cambridge) on 2006-03-08:
General comments: Good, simple belay device. I didn't notice all that much difference between the two settings, but if you belay a very heavy climber then maybe you will. I burned through the plastic on mine while abseiling and had to retire it as there was wire exposed.
Pros: Simple, easy to use as it's essentially a standard belay plate.
Cons: Plastic on the wire seemed to melt and tear easily, but it was a couple of years old and maybe I was abusing it a bit.
