Edelrid Pinch
Versatile belay device with direct harness connection
A new belay experience with the EDELRID Pinch! Assisted braking delay device with direct harness connection without the use of a carabiner. The compact system provides direct feedback when belaying for safer handling and increased efficiency when delivering the rope. The integrated anti-panic function blocks the device if the brake lever is pulled too far back, making the Pinch the ideal belay device for beginners. Additional steel brake grooves ensure improved control when lowering and abseiling and prevent rope jamming. The universal application options make the Pinch your new companion for sport climbing, multi-pitch climbing and rope access techniques.
Features
- Direct harness attachment: First belay device on the market that can be attached directly to the central ring of the climbing harness as well as using a belay carabiner.
- Linear rope run: Full control when lowering and abseiling − less crane hangs in the rope.
- Deactivatable anti-panic function: The antipanic function can be permanently deactivated using a screw included in the packaging. Perfect for professionals or rope access techniques on thick ropes.
- Integrated second braking unit: If the anti-panic function is activated too often due to excessive rope friction, you can easily lower or abseil even with very low loads by continuing to pull the release lever.
- Versatile use: lead climbing, belaying a second, top roping, lowering and abseiling − one and the same device for sport climbing, multi-pitch routes and rope access techniques.
- More direct feedback due to close-to-the-body position when belaying.
- 20 - 30 cm more rope for each rope output.
