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.
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.
