Climbing technology - Alipne UP

ALPINE UP is the most complete and versatile belay / rappel device ever produced. It has been developed especially for mountaineering and it can be used with half, twin and single ropes. Extremely advantageous, it allows self-locking abseiling and it can be used in three different belay modes, depending on the terrain.

The click-up mode (Hand assisted braking) allows:

• belaying a lead climber on multi pitch sport climbing routes (bolted);
• self-locking abseiling, using the folding handle;
• absolute safety, even if the rope is incorrectly inserted.

The dynamic mode (Manual braking) allows:

• belaying a lead climber on alpine route or ice climbing (friends, nuts and pitons);
• braking friction with “V” grooves, similar to a tube device;
• abseiling with “V” grooves brake.

The guide mode allows:

• independent and self-locking belaying of one or two seconding climbers;
• possibility of gradual releasing of a second under tension, by placing a biner in the proper hole.
