Belayer Edelrid Pinch (Anthracite-Oasis)

Revolutionary versatile semi-automatic belayer for sport climbing and multi-pitch climbing

The PINCH is a versatile belayer with assisted braking, ideal for sport climbing and multi-pitch climbing. Connected directly to the harness, it allows for optimal rope control without blocking the device to give slack.

Thanks to its steel grooves, the PINCH prevents rope twists and offers controlled descent. Its deactivatable anti-panic function and multi-directional connection to the anchor ensure safety and flexibility of use.

Advantages

• Direct connection to the harness for optimal rope control and ease of use.
• Deactivatable anti-panic system for enhanced safety, even with thin and flexible ropes.
• Versatile compatibility with dynamic ropes (8.5 - 10.5 mm) and static ropes (10.0 - 10.5 mm).

Technical Characteristics

• Weight: 234 g
• Approved rope diameter: 8.5 - 10.5 mm
• Certification: EN 15151-1, EN 12841-C
• Material: Steel/ALU
• Mechanism: Belayer with assisted braking for versatile use in sport climbing, multi-pitch climbing, and rope access techniques
• Close body positioning due to direct connection to the harness increasing rope control on the braking side and facilitating use
• No risk of cross-loading on the safety carabiner when connected directly to the harness
• Deactivatable anti-panic function for more safety: the device automatically locks if the descent handle is pulled too far back
• Second level of braking if the anti-panic function is activated too often due to too low a load and/or too much friction on the rope
• Steel braking grooves allowing linear progression of the rope, thus limiting rope twists, increasing its longevity, and avoiding unsightly discolorations due to friction
• Connection to the anchor in four different directions in 90° increments
• Equivalent use for right-handed and left-handed users
• Suitable for static ropes with a diameter of 10.0 to 10.5 mm (maximum user weight: 120 kg)
• Suitable for dynamic ropes with a diameter of 8.5 to 10.5 mm
