Salewa Ergo Sicherungs System

"The Ergo belay system from Salewa, developed in collaboration with expert Chris Semmel, sets new standards in climbing safety. This innovative belay device is based on the Tuberu00e4t principle and is characterized by its external blocking function, which acts independently of hand forceu00e4. In the event of a fall, this offers a considerable safety advantage over conventional belay devices and ensures that the braking hand always remains securely on the rope"
"The Ergo belay system is ideal for lead belaying in particular. The climber can pay out rope more quickly without unintentional blockages, and the change between hauling in and paying out the rope is smooth. The ergonomic design of the device ensures that there is no need to change grip and the braking principle is never violated. When lowering the climbing partner, the speed can be precisely controlled, which contributes to a safe and controlled descent."
"Thanks to its intuitive handling and high tolerance for operating errors, the Ergo Backup System minimizes the risk of operating errors. Even when used improperly, the device remains functional and prevents total failure. The system is complemented by the 1718 HMS Belay Twist Lock carabiner, which is available as a spare part or accessory to further optimize the belay experience."
