Edelrid - Ohmega - Assisted-Braking Resistor

• Best for:
  • Sport climbing
  • Indoor climbing

Why we love it

The OHMEGA is Edelrid's assisted-braking resistor, adding friction to reduce the forces on the belayer and balance out weight differences within a rope team. Three adjustable braking levels (10, 20 and 30 kg) let you tune the effect to your partnership and the terrain. It brakes even when a climber falls directly onto the device under active load, reducing the risk of collisions and ground falls, while an integrated pulley reduces friction during climbing and clipping – helpful on long, sustained routes. For single-rope sport and gym climbing, it's a genuine belay upgrade for teams of any size.

Tech Specs

• Type: Assisted-braking resistor
• Weight: 190 g
• Rope compatibility: Single ropes 8.6–10.5 mm
• Braking levels: 3 adjustable (10, 20, 30 kg)

Features

• Adjustable Braking Levels: Three easily adjusted settings (10, 20, 30 kg) tune the resistance to suit the rope team and route – balancing out weight differences between climber and belayer.
• Active-Load Braking: Brakes even when a climber falls directly into the device, reducing the risk of collisions and hitting the ground, and preventing a lighter belayer being pulled up uncontrollably.
• Integrated Pulley: Reduces friction while climbing and clipping – keeping rope handling smooth on long, difficult routes.
• Versatile for all teams: Works for rope parties from beginners to experts, with or without a weight difference, on single-rope sport and gym routes.
