Enhanced Safety with the Ohm Assisted Braking Resistor from Edelrid

The Ohm Assisted Braking Resistor from Edelrid is a game-changer in the climbing community, offering unmatched safety for both lightweight belayers and heavier climbers. By simply attaching this innovative device to the first bolt or placement, climbers can enjoy increased rope friction, effectively preventing belayers from being unexpectedly lifted into the air during falls or lowerings. And the best part? The Ohm doesn't interfere with rope handling, whether it's the lead climber clipping or the belayer handling slack.

Without the Ohm, a fall by a heavier climber on the first piece can lead to dangerous ground falls. However, with the Ohm securely in place, the risk of such incidents is significantly reduced. This device is designed to be compatible with any belay device and can be used with ropes ranging from 8.6 to 11mm in diameter, making it incredibly versatile.
