Climbing Technology Alpine UP green
Description |
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.
