This is a brand new Metolius BRD combo package with locking carabiner. Great for anyone who needs to replace some old gear or is just getting started in climbing. Thanks for Bidding.
With the creation of the BRD, we have achieved a simple, safe and
bombproof belay / rappel device. The principle behind the BRD is very
simple: as the load of a falling climber is applied, the carabiner is
pulled into the scientifically engineered rope slots and the rope is
squeezed between the carabiner and the BRD. The result is that a
tremendous amount of friction is generated, allowing the belayer to easily
catch long, hard falls with relatively light hand pressure. For
rappelling, the BRD will give you a relatively slow and controlled (and we
feel safer) rappel. If the rappel is moving too slowly, you can re-orient
the device for a speedier descent.
The BRD is both versatile (single or
double ropes) and lightweight. The ergonomic horn gives enhanced control
while lowering and rappelling. It is easy to operate, has a high
strength-to-weight ratio and doesn't kink ropes. With its enormous
stopping power and slower, more controlled rappel, we feel the BRD is
clearly the safest plate-style device that has been made. Yet another
shrewd product from Metolius that has been made safer by design!
