Description
The Alpine Up is the most complete and versatile belay / rappel device ever produced. It has been developed especially for mountaineering and it can be used with half, twin and single ropes. Extremely advantageous, it allows self-locking abseiling
and it can be used in three different belay modes, depending on the terrain.
The CLICK UP MODE (Hand assisted braking) allows:
• belaying a lead climber on multi pitch sport climbing routes (bolted)
• self-locking abseiling, using the folding handle
• absolute safety, even if the rope is incorrectly inserted
The DYNAMIC MODE (Manual braking) allows:
• belaying a lead climber on alpine route or ice climbing (friends, nuts and pitons)
• braking friction with “V” grooves, similar to a tube device;
• aabseiling with “V” grooves brake
The GUIDE MODE allows:
• independent and self-locking belaying of one or two seconding climbers
• possibility of gradual releasing of a second under tension, by placing a biner in the proper hole
The Alpine Up is supplied with the proper HMS Concept SGL HC carabiner with hard-coated wear-proof anodization and ACL system that prevents the possibility of the cross loading. Patented and entirely produced in Italy.
