Assisted braking for safer belays when there's a weight difference. The EDELRID Ohmega is an innovative assisted braking device designed to solve one of climbing's most common challenges—belaying a climber who weighs significantly more than you do. By adding friction to the rope system when the climber falls or weights the rope, the Ohmega reduces the force on the belayer and prevents them from being pulled off the ground, creating a safer belay experience for both partners. Assisted braking technology – Adds friction when the climber falls, reducing upward pull on lighter belayers Weight difference solution – Ideal when the climber outweighs the belayer by 22+ lbs (10+ kg) Compatible with most belay devices – Works with tube-style and assisted braking devices Easy to use – Simple setup clips to the first bolt or anchor point Smooth rope feeding – Doesn't interfere with normal belaying when climber is on the wall Durable construction – Built to withstand repeated use and hard falls Versatile applications – Perfect for sport climbing, gym climbing, and top-roping EDELRID quality – German engineering and rigorous safety testing Whether you're a lighter belayer working with heavier climbing partners, teaching climbing to larger students, or simply want added security when there's a weight mismatch, the EDELRID Ohmega delivers the assisted braking you need for safer, more confident belays. Trusted by climbers worldwide for making weight-mismatched partnerships work safely and effectively.
