The next generation of lightweight, multi-use belay and abseil device. A development of already excellent devices like the Petzl Reverso and Black Diamond ATC-Guide, the DMM Pivot is designed for easier handling in 'guide' mode, allowing much greater control when lowering a second. Essential kit for multi-pitch climbers, mountaineers and climbing instructors. Features include: Hot forged construction for optimum strength and weight. Precision CNC machined. Works with single or double ropes. Works for standard (leader) belaying from your harness. Works in self-locking mode for direct belaying of one or two seconds. Innovative pivoting hanger allows much greater control when lowering a second. Ridged grooves increase holding power (especially with thin or smooth ropes) when used in conventional belay mode. Can also be used as an emergency ascender, or as a 'ratchet' when performing a crevasse rescue. Made in Wales. Weight: 72g Rope diameter: 7.5 to 11mm (optimised for 8 to 10.5mm)
