Metolius BRD - Belay Rappel Device (Fall 2007)
$19.95
With the creation of the BRD by Metolius - we have achieved a simple - safe and bombproof belay/rappel device. The principle behind the BRD is very simple: as the load of a falling climber is applied - the carabiner is pulled into the scientifically engineered rope slots and the rope is squeezed between the carabiner and the BRD. The result is that a tremendous amount of friction is generated - allowing the belayer to easily catch long - hard falls with relatively light hand pressure. For rappelling - the BRD will give you a relatively slow and controlled (and we feel safer) rappel. If the rappel is moving too slowly - you can re-orient the device for a speedier descent.Features: A versatile - lightweight belay/rappel device w/engineered rope slots which means added control via increased friction on the rope Single or double rope compatible (8 mm to 11 mm ropes) Increased thermal mass and cooling fins to dissipate heat Hard anodized for longer wear CNC machined from 6061 T-6 aluminum Weight: 2.9 oz. (82 g)

Petzl Grigri Belay Device (Fall 2007)
$94.95
The Grigri Belay Device by Petzl is a self-braking belay-descender device for belaying a leader or a second and for single rope descents. Specifications: Weight: 225 g Certification: CE Features: Self-braking system: If the rope suddenly comes under tension (e.g. in a fall) - the cam pivots to pinch the rope - thus helping the belayer stop the climber's fall. Usage is similar to that of conventional belay devices: - giving/taking slack is done by using both hands to slide the rope through the device - - falls are held by holding the free end of the rope - - for lowering and rappelling - the rate of descent is controlled by the hand holding the free end of the rope (the rope is released with the handle). For 10 to 11 mm single rope

Trango B-52 Belay Device (Fall 2007)
$18.95
The B-52 Belay Device by Trango has been recently updated. The B-52 is the first belay device designed from a total performance point-of-view and with the refinements we've made recently - its even better. We've beefed up the small end of the device or added durability and subtly rounded the edges and curves making it even smoother to operate.Rappelling with the B-52 is a thing of beauty. We've all gotten used to the jerky-at-the top/terrifying-at-the-bottom rappel sequence offered up by most belay/rappel devices. The B-52 changes all that with extremely smooth starts and controlled descents all the way down.For advanced climbers and guides doing multi-pitch routes - the B-52 can be used as an in.autobloc in. device that will lock the rope automatically when the leader is belaying one or two seconds. In a pinch - the B-52 can be used as an emergency ascender.Features: Positive stop with a wide variety of rope diameters Lightweight Emergency ascender Blissfully smooth rappels with all your different ropes Autobloc Easy to rig

Trango Jaws Belay Device (Fall 2007)
$24.95
The Jaws by Trango is the most versatile belay device you can buy. Period. When you need a positive and secure lock-off - run the brake side of the ropes through the unique double V-notches. In this configuration - Jaws has more stopping power than any other belay/rappel device we can find. Turn Jaws around and run the braking rope over the smooth side when you need a lightning fast feed on trad or alpine terrain. Don't worry about catching a fall - because in this mode Jaws has similar braking abilities to our Pyramid. Rappels are smooth and controlled with Jaws. The large rope slots make it easy to set up - the V-notches control the speed and the flat rope path really prevents kinking. For low-angle or long double rope rappels - you can turn Jaws around so the free end of the rope runs over the smooth side. Specifications: Weight: 68 gm (2.4 oz) Strength: 20 kN

Trango Pyramid Belay Device (Fall 2007)
$19.95
The Pyramid Belay Device by Trango could be the best all around belay/rappel device on the planet. The result of intensive R&D work - it is light - compact - durable and can smoothly handle just about any rope combination. The machined cooling fins on the Pyramid work both to keep it cool and to make it less droppable - and the pivoting center pin lets you flip it over to customize the feed of your ropes without effecting its stopping power. Rappelling is always controlled and jerk-free and the flat rope path virtually eliminates kinks. The elongated slot for the center pin makes it easy to rig the Pyramid with stiff or fat ropes and the burly retaining cable will last as long as you own it.
