Edelrid Pinch

Experience a new level of safety and versatility when climbing with the innovative PINCH belay device from Edelrid. This device with blocking support is perfect for sport climbing, multi-pitch and rope access techniques. An outstanding feature of the PINCH is its ability to be attached directly to the central ring of the climbing harness, which improves control over the brake rope and increases ease of use. The frontal steel brake grooves allow the rope to run linearly, reduce rope tangles and prevent unsightly discoloration that could occur with aluminum.
The integrated antipanic function ensures additional safety by automatically blocking the appliance if the drain lever is pulled too far. For experienced users, this function can be switched off if required. The PINCH also offers a second braking stage, which enables controlled lowering, especially for light people or high rope friction. These features make the device ideal for climbers of all experience levels.
Another advantage of the PINCH is its flexibility when used on multi-rope lengths, as it can be attached to the belay in four different directions in 90°steps. This allows the belay lever to always be held in the optimum position. The device is suitable for both right-handed and left-handed users and can be used with static ropes from 10.0 to 10.5 mm and dynamic ropes from 8.5 to 10.5 mm in diameter. With the PINCH from Edelrid, you are always safe and efficient on the move.
