EDELRID OHM II

The second generation of our innovative and successful OHM is easier to use than ever before thanks to a series of updates. 

If there is a significant weight difference between the first and second, this often causes problems. This applies in particular to climbing couples, where the woman is often much lighter than her partner.

In the event of a fall, a lighter belayer can be suddenly knocked off the ground and thrown against the wall. In addition, when a belayer is knocked off the ground, this significantly increases the climber's fall distance. If the climber is still close to the ground, the belayer and climber may collide. In the worst case, the climber could fall to the ground.

The assisted braking resistor for increasing the braking effect when climbing on rope equipment with large weight differences has a swivel joint that improves the device's freedom of movement.

As a result, the clipping direction no longer matters when the device is clipped to the first bolt. The locking system prevents the device from accidentally opening and makes it much easier to insert the rope and remove the device when lowering.

FEATURES

Much lower forces are exerted on the belayer.

Lowering a heavier person in a controlled manner is much easier

OHM is attached to the first bolt of the safety chain

The device reduces the risk of collision when falling on the belayer.

Rope handling when belaying a lead climber is not affected (no additional friction when paying out the rope).
