Enjoy a new belaying experience with the PINCH. The innovative and versatile belay device with assisted braking is designed for sport and multi-pitch climbing aswell as use in the fi eld of rope access. The PINCH is the only device on the market that can be directly connected to the central ring on a climbing harness. Thebutton for opening the device can be locked using a small slider. The low position close to the body eliminates the need to hold the PINCH in position when payingout rope, so four fi ngers can be wrapped around the braking rope at all times. In addition, the compact belay system provides an increased span, which allows thebelayer to pay out 20 - 30 cm more rope at once. The linear rope run through the frontal steel braking grooves reduces rope tangles when lowering and abseiling.In addition to the lowering lever, the speed can be controlled by the pressure of the braking hand, which contributes to increased braking rope control, especiallywhen using thin, soft ropes. The anti-panic function provides added safety not only for beginners. A special feature is the integrated second braking tier, whichenables controlled lowering by pulling the lowering lever further when securing particularly light persons or in systems with high rope friction. Users andexperienced rope access technicians can permanently deactivate the anti-panic function using a screw supplied. Another plus: When used on multi-pitch lengths,the PINCH is the only device on the market that can be attached to the belay station in four different directions in 90° increments. This means that the loweringlever can always be brought into a position in which it can be operated freely.
