The EDELRID Ohm II is an assisted-braking resistor designed to help belayers manage a significant weight difference with their climbing partner. This innovative device is attached to the first bolt on a route and increases friction on the rope during a fall, effectively making a lighter belayer “25kg heavier.” This reduces the force exerted on the belayer, allowing for a more controlled catch and safer descent. The Ohm II also features a new swivel joint for easier handling, making it an essential piece of equipment for climbing teams of different weights.
