Description

Versatile belay/abseil device, for use in mountaineering with half, twin or single ropes. It has three different modes of use. Alpine UP is the most complete and versatile belay / rappel device ever produced. It has been developed especially for mountaineering and it can be used with half, twin and single ropes. Extremely advantageous, it allows self-locking abseiling and it can be used in three different belay modes, depending on the terrain.
The click-up mode (Hand assisted braking) allows:
– Belaying a lead climber on multi pitch sport climbing routes (bolted)
– Self-locking abseiling, using the folding handle
– Absolute safety, even if the rope is incorrectly inserted.
The dynamic mode (Manual braking) allows:
– Belaying a lead climber on alpine route or ice climbing (friends, nuts and pitons)
– Braking friction with “V” grooves, similar to a tube device
– Abseiling with “V” grooves brake.
The guide mode allows:
– Independent and self-locking belaying of one or two seconding climbers
– Possibility of gradual releasing of a second under tension, by placing a biner in the proper hole.
– Alpine UP is supplied and must be used with the proper TONDO SGL HC carabiner with hardcoated wear-proof Anodization and ACL system that prevents the possibility of the cross loading.
Features:
– Click-Up mode, ideal for multipitch sport climbing
