Edelrid

Ohm Switching Resistor

<p>The Edelrid Ohm is a pre-switching resistor for increasing rope friction when there is a large weight difference between the climber and belayer. Here, the climbing pro presents the second edition of the aid for easier handling.</p> <p>In the event of a fall, the rope friction is increased to such an extent that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier climber without any problems. The belayer needs significantly less hand force to hold a fall and lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control. The Ohm is installed in the first bolt of the safety chain. In the event of a fall into the first hook, the device reduces the risk of a possible fall to the ground. No rope friction is generated during rope payout, which means that handling is not restricted when leading.</p <p>The updated Ohm has an integrated swivel joint that gives the device more freedom of movement. This means that the direction of the attachment no longer plays a role in the first bolt.</p> <p <p>Recommended weight difference (climber & belayer): 10 - 40 kg, minimum belayer weight: 40 kg, breaking load: 20 kN, diameter of the single rope: 8.9 - 11 mm.</p>
