Why We Like The DMM Pivot Belay Device

When it comes to belay devices, the DMM Pivot stands out for its exceptional features and construction. Crafted from tough yet lightweight aluminum, this device offers durability without adding unnecessary weight to our gear. Plus, it provides us with two friction options, allowing us to easily adjust our rappel speed based on our preferences and the conditions of our descent.

However, what truly sets the Pivot apart from other devices is its innovative hinged guide-mode loop. This unique feature grants us additional leverage and ensures smooth action when we need to lower our second climber off the belay ledge. With the Pivot, we can count on controlled and efficient lowering, enhancing our overall climbing experience.
