Ohmega, from the brand Edelrid, is a braking assist device, compact, weighing barely 190g, with multiple applications, designed for a wide audience.
Whether in an indoor gym, on rock, or in alpine sport climbing (with a single rope), it offers a genuine advantage in terms of safety and comfort, both for the person climbing and the person belaying. It will be appreciated by beginners and experienced climbers alike, as well as professionals, and by roped teams with or without a weight difference.
The integrated HMPE sling allows you to choose at a glance between three braking levels depending on the weight distribution.
Thanks to the integrated pulley, the friction generated at the first intermediate anchor is reduced compared to using a quickdraw.
The Ohmega therefore makes itself forgotten during climbing and clipping, even on long and difficult routes.
The short HMPE sling and the resulting minimal activation distance allow the belayer to belay more easily in a dynamic and smooth manner, which limits the risk of impact-related injuries.
In the event of a fall, the cam brakes the fall, which assists the belayer and compensates for any weight difference where applicable. This prevents the belayer from being lifted off the ground in the event of a heavy fall.
In the event of a fall near the ground, the braking action of the Ohmega limits both the risk of a collision between partners and the risk of hitting the ground.
In addition, the Ohmega also ensures effective braking in the event of a fall directly at the device.
Simple, lightweight, offering greater safety and comfort to both climbing partners, the Ohmega opens up new possibilities and radically changes the belaying experience.
