Edelrid Ohm

Description

The Edelrid OHM 2.0 is the ultimate solution for climbing partners with a significant weight difference. This assisted-braking resistance device increases belay safety without affecting rope handling. Now in its second generation, the OHM features a swivel joint that allows full freedom of movement and eliminates the need to consider clipping direction when attaching it to the first bolt. Its intuitive locking system ensures secure closure, makes rope insertion easier, and simplifies removal after lowering. Whether you’re catching falls or lowering a heavier partner, the OHM dramatically reduces the physical strain on the belayer, making rope teams safer and more comfortable.
