Imagine you're a small Viking guarding the gate to a granite fortress while a hulking berserker leads above—this device is your enchanted shield. The OHM II clips at the first bolt and only kicks in when needed, drastically reducing the force on a lighter belayer during a fall. The cam and pulley design ensures the rope still feeds smoothly while leading, and the updated swivel and lock mechanism make setup and takedown a breeze. It's a must-have for climber pairs with weight differences—and a godsend for safe, confident belaying.
Skål to balanced partnerships and gear that does the heavy lifting!
