Edelrid Ohmega Brake Assist Device

This benefits beginners, experienced climbers, and pros as well as rope parties with and without a weight difference. 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 finds 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.

• Far lower forces are exerted on the belayer
• Versatile brake assistant
• For all rope parties – from beginners to pros
• For climbing gyms, sport climbing crags and alpine sport climbing routes (single rope)
• Lightweight and compact – always in your backpack
• Superior belay assistance
• 3 easy-to-adjust braking levels
• Brakes even when falling directly into the device (active load) and reduces the risk of collisions and hitting the ground
• Integrated pulley reduces friction while climbing and clipping, making the device ideal for long, difficult routes
