Belay, Ascend & Descend, Pulleys

Useful as a sub 10mm single rope auto block as well as its intended use as a ratchet prusik.

5mm cord is best for really thin ropes, particularly icy ones or those concerned with weight and bulk.

7mm is ideal for use with 11mm ropes and can also be used for bailing off.

An old time classic that's still popular.

Heavier than the Reverso and the wire is stiffer, but it will last longer.

The basic ATC taken to the next level, the wire is fairly stiff and the device quite heavy.

Nice, light simple pulley, had one for years.

Works really well.

A solid unit.

Works well with the CMI single micro rescue pulley.
Small, compact and popular.

So light and small, really no reason not to carry one when multi-pitching. Particularly useful if climbing with inexperienced partners, or if there is three in the party. A recommended piece of kit.

Heavy duty, wears really well, popular old school device, that has stood the test of time.

Brand new from DMM. Looks good and is lighter than the Verso. I feel it is better suited to sub 10mm ropes.

Really useful as a redirect if using a waist belay at the top.

Not too big, ideal for crevasse, river or rock work. Well priced.

Works better than most prusik minding pulleys.

Saves cross loading carabiners and makes for a clean anchor.

A must have on a big wall. Read the features and specs below.

A favourite belay device for multi-pitch climbing.
