Description Edelrid have created possibly the most versatile belay device you are likely to come across. The Edelrid Mega Jul holds a 'Climbing Magazine Editors' Choice award', and 'Outdoor Magazine Editors' Choice Award' as well as being an ISPO Award winner. The Edelrid Mega Jul is an 'assisted breaking device' and bridges the gap between 'guide mode' ATC's like the Petzl Reverso or DMM Pivot, and 'auto' devices like the Petzl Gri Gri. It basically operates like a Reverso but with the addition of assisted breaking in general leader mode. It also means you can have an assisted breaking device on multipitches or alpine climbs when you cannot take a Gri Gri because of its inability to rappel off two ropes. Edelrid Megajul Belay Device Modes - Belaying a leader or toprope: In this mode the device is a break assisted device. It is easy to pay-out slack to leader and can be used with single, twin or double ropes. Guide Mode: Like the Reverso or Pivot, hang the device directly off an anchor to belay up a second. Device is an auto-lock device when used in this mode. Assisted-break Rappel: When used in this mode rappelling, the device will auto lock off unless it is tilted up either by the thumb loop below or the biner loop on the top Unassisted general ATC Rappel: Flip the device over when rappelling and the Mega Jul will act like any other tubular device when abseiling. It is recommended you use a backup prussic in this mode. Read our staff review > Specifications Material: Solid Stainless Steel Rope Diameter Range: 7.8 - 10.5mm EN Cert.: EN 15151-2
