NEOX Belay Device

Cam-assisted blocking is a safety feature in the NEOX Belay Device that uses a rotating cam to grip the rope when weight is applied. This mechanism automatically engages during a fall, preventing the rope from slipping and ensuring that the climber is securely held. This added safety feature gives both the climber and belayer peace of mind during climbs.

The integrated wheel in the NEOX Belay Device allows for smoother and quicker management of the rope. It reduces friction when feeding out or taking in slack, making it easier for the belayer to control the rope. This is especially beneficial in sport climbing, where quick adjustments are often necessary to maintain safety and efficiency.

An ergonomic handle is designed to fit comfortably in your hand, which reduces strain and improves grip during use. This is crucial for belayers, who may need to hold the device for extended periods. A comfortable grip helps ensure that you can maintain control and respond quickly in case of a fall.

The use of recycled nylon in the NEOX Belay Device helps reduce waste and the environmental impact associated with producing new materials. By choosing a product made from recycled materials, you are supporting eco-friendly practices while still enjoying high-quality climbing gear.

Sport climbing involves ascending routes that are equipped with fixed anchors, such as bolts, for protection. This type of climbing focuses on the physical challenge and often requires specialized gear, like the NEOX Belay Device, to enhance safety and performance. Understanding this distinction can help you choose the right equipment for your climbing style.

The NEOX Belay Device is designed with features like cam-assisted blocking and an ergonomic handle, making it user-friendly for beginners while still offering advanced safety and performance features that experienced climbers appreciate. This versatility ensures that climbers of all skill levels can benefit from its innovative design.
