Key Features:
- Direct Harness Attachment: The Pinch can be attached directly to the central ring of the climbing harness, eliminating the need for a carabiner and reducing the risk of cross-loading. This design positions the device closer to the belayer's body, enhancing control and usability.
- Assisted Braking Mechanism: Provides reliable braking support, enhancing safety during belaying.
- Panic Handle: Features an anti-panic function that automatically locks the device if the release lever is pulled too far back, preventing unintended lowering. This function can be disabled using a supplied screw for experienced users.
- Linear Rope Run-Through: The frontal steel brake grooves allow the rope to run linearly, reducing tangling and increasing durability.
- Versatile Attachment: Can be attached to the belay station in four different directions in 90° increments, ensuring optimal positioning during multi-pitch climbs.
