The EDELRID OHMEGA is a versatile belay assistant that opens up a new dimension of safety and convenience for both climbers and belayers. It balances out weight differences in a rope party with three braking levels and reduces the friction at the first bolt thanks to the integrated pulley. Weighing a mere 170 g, the compact EDELRID OHMEGA is barely noticeable in your backpack or when climbing and belaying—until you need it. 

How? The integrated Dyneema® sling enables users to switch between three different braking levels with a simple hand movement to suit the weight distribution. The integrated pulley keeps the friction generated at the first bolt lower than when using a quickdraw, so users won’t notice the OHMEGA when climbing or clipping, even on long and difficult routes. Thanks to the short Dyneema® sling and the resultant minimal activation distance, the belayer finds it easier to belay dynamically and softly, reducing the risk of impact-induced injuries. 

In the event of a fall, the cam brakes the fall, supporting the belayer. The additional braking effect also balances out any weight differences. As a result, the belayer won’t be pulled off the ground or into the wall in the event of a big fall. With falls from a low height, the braking effect of the OHMEGA reduces the risk of both the climbing partners colliding and the climber hitting the ground. The OHMEGA also brakes reliably if the climber falls into the device.
