Edelrid Ohmega

Rethink belaying – weighing in at barely 190 g, the compact OHMEGA is a highly versatile brake assistant. Whether in the gym, at the crag, or on alpine sport climbing routes (when using a single rope), it offers value in terms of safety and comfort for both climbers and belayers. The integrated HMPE sling enables users to switch between three different braking levels with a simple hand movement to suit the weight distribution. The integrated pulley keeps the friction generated at the first bolt lower than when using a quickdraw, so users won’t notice the OHMEGA when climbing or clipping, even on long and difficult routes. Thanks to the short HMPE sling and the resultant minimal activation distance, the belayer will find it easier to belay dynamically and softly, reducing the risk of impact-induced injuries. In the event of a fall, the cam brakes the fall, supporting the belayer and balancing out weight differences. As a result, the belayer won’t be pulled off the ground in the event of a big fall. With falls from a low height, the braking effect of the OHMEGA reduces the risk of both the climbing partners colliding and the climber hitting the ground. The OHMEGA also brakes reliably if the climber falls into the device. Simple, light, and offering enhanced safety and comfort for both climbing partners, the OHMEGA opens up new possibilities and makes belaying a completely new experience.
