What is an Auto Belay Device?
An Auto Belay Device is an automatic belay device that prevents the slack in the climbing line while the climber climbs up. If the climber reaches the top, or falls, the Auto Belay immediately arrests the fall and lowers the climber to the ground safely and automatically. Thanks to Auto Belays, anyone can climb whenever they want, even without a belay partner. With an Auto Belays, novice climbers can focus on learning climbing techniques and enjoying their sport before they have to master the belay techniques themselves.

Operation Auto Belay
Before the climber starts to climb, he attaches himself to the line of the device. While climbing, the rope (lifeline) automatically rolls into the device. After reaching the top and whenever she or he wants to descend or in the event of a fall, the climber descends automatically, at approximately 1 m/s, safely and comfortably. The intensity of use – ie the total number of descent meters – is determined by the counter on the device.
