The Metolius BRD Belay Device With Element Carabiner is a versatile and lightweight belay/rappel device offering enhanced control, with rope slots that are engineered to increase friction on the rope allowing the belayer to easily catch long, hard falls with relatively light hand pressure.
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 while the rolling fins help to dissipate heat more efficiently.
- Versatile & lightweight
- Single or double rope compatible
- Increased thermal mass & cooling fins
- Anodized, CNC machined
- Meets UIAA standard for rope braking devices
