 | Belay Devices - GriGri 2 by Petzl
15. 11. 2018 16:59:03
The classic from Petzl is designed for thinner single ropes and is certainly the most widespread belay device on the market. The entry angle of the brake rope has no effect on the blocking function. The quick release using the gasworks method works flawlessly, and the low weight expands the uses of ... |
 | Belay Devices - Matik by Camp
15. 11. 2018 17:48:04
The Matik from Camp is a bit heavy, but it features an anti-panic function and solid construction. Those who prefer thicker single ropes over 9.4 mm are poorly advised with the Matik. Rope feeding then becomes torture and you quickly lose the fun. With modern thin ropes around 9 mm, the device plays... |
 | Belay Devices - Eddy by Edelrid
15. 11. 2018 18:01:05
The Eddy from Edelrid can be seen as an exotic among belay devices. Due to its relatively heavy and robust design, it is rarely seen in climbing gyms. The device comes from work safety and features an anti-panic function. The entry angle of the brake rope doesn't matter during operation. The quick-r... |
 | Belay Devices - GriGri+ by Petzl
15. 11. 2018 18:20:09
The GriGri+ from Petzl is the third evolution of the classic GriGri. It can undoubtedly be seen as the benchmark on the belay device market. In addition to the conventional functions, the GriGri+ has an anti-panic function and two operating mechanisms. These allow switching between top-rope and lead... |

 | Belay Devices - Click Up by Climbing Technology
21. 03. 2019 14:58:34
The Click Up from Climbing Technology has a lead mode and a blocking mode. This is particularly suitable for top-rope climbing and beginner climbing courses. For children, the device is only conditionally suitable, as it is somewhat difficult to unlock the device when in blocking mode. The device do... |
 | Belay Devices - Smart by Mammut
21. 03. 2019 15:02:09
The Mammut Smart is the classic among assisted-braking devices and particularly popular with children due to its generous rope-payout horn. However, 'normal' rope payout as some are used to from the tube is almost impossible, as the device reacts very sensitively and locks immediately with slightly ... |
 | Belay Devices - Jul2 by Edelrid
21. 03. 2019 15:43:25
The Edelrid Jul2 belongs to the group of assisted-braking devices and is particularly widespread in German-speaking areas. Handling is excellent with both thin and thicker single ropes. It is robustly built but not too heavy and can be used with any HMS carabiner with a locking mechanism.... |
 | Belay Devices - FISH by AUSTRIALPIN
21. 03. 2019 15:49:25
The FISH from AUSTRIALPIN is the only assisted-braking device with a release lever. The device is very user-friendly and performs excellently even with thicker ropes. Unlocking the device by pushing the horn upwards can sometimes happen a bit too quickly, but it's mainly a matter of getting used to ... |
 | Belay Devices - ATC Pilot by Black Diamond
21. 03. 2019 15:55:28
The Black Diamond ATC Pilot strongly resembles the Salewa Ergo and is surprisingly similar in handling. The difference lies more in the details. The Pilot is a bit more forgiving in rope payout and doesn't lock as abruptly as the Ergo, making it particularly suitable for slightly thicker single rope... |
 | Belay Devices - Tuber
21. 03. 2019 16:05:58
Tube devices are considered an 'endangered species' in sport climbing because they lack assisted locking and provide no braking effect once the brake-hand principle is violated. However, tubers are still used by very experienced belayers and in competition settings, as they allow very dynamic and sm... |
 | Belay Devices - Ergo by Salewa
21. 03. 2019 16:10:35
With the Ergo, Salewa has joined the classic assisted-braking devices. Handling is good. However, the device tends to lock quickly with thicker ropes. In that case, only the quick-release method should be used. An HMS carabiner is included. Only this one should be used with the Ergo.... |
 | SicherAmBerg - Partner Check in Sport Climbing

The double vacuum-packed bandage lasts 10 years and should not be missing from any mountain, ski touring or climbing backpack. We show the various applications in this tutorial.... |
 | Tactical Alpine Medicine 04 – Heat Retention - SicherAmBerg
24. 10. 2019 12:02:08
In the mountains we are always exposed to environmental influences. Unlike accidents in urban areas, heat retention of the injured on the mountain is always an issue in summer as in winter. The alu rescue blanket is the ideal tool to isolate body heat as long as possible until mountain rescue arriv... |
