Pinch

The PINCH is a versatile assisted braking belay device designed for use in sport climbing, multi-pitch climbing, and rope access techniques. This innovative device can be attached directly to the central ring of the climbing harness, ensuring a low, close-to-the-body position that enhances brake rope control and usability. The compact design allows the belayer to pay out 20 – 30 cm more rope at once, while the linear rope run through the frontal steel braking grooves reduces tangles when lowering and abseiling. The PINCH features an anti-panic function for added safety and can be deactivated by experienced users. It’s also unique in its ability to be attached to the belay station in four different directions in 90° increments, providing flexibility in positioning.
