Collection: Belay Devices

Climb Source only carries Assisted Braking Devices (ABDs)

What are ABDs?

Assisted Braking Devices (ABDs) assists a belayer while catching a falling climber who is attached to the climbing rope. When activated, ABDs produce a locking action that pinches the climbing rope, providing a catch assist to the belayer. In order to increase the chances of the locking assist functioning properly, the belayer must keep their hand on the locking end of the rope at all times and below the brake plane.

These devices are produced in various shapes, with each style offering benefits in different belay scenarios, such as top rope belay, lead belay, multi-pitch belay, and in some cases hauling and ascending. Although older styles of devices are still commonly in use today, there are many ABDs out there that are challenging the status quo of what modern belay safety should look like.
