This innovative device is the first on the market designed for direct attachment to the central ring of your climbing harness, providing a low, close-to-the-body position for optimal control. By positioning the device close to the body, the PINCH allows the brake rope to be gripped securely with all fingers, improving belay control and eliminating the need for fixing the device when releasing the rope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirect Harness Connection:\u003c\/b\u003e The PINCH attaches directly to the harness, improving brake rope control and eliminating the risk of cross-loading a belay carabiner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eEnhanced Rope Control:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides a greater span for paying out more rope (20-30 cm) at once, making belaying smoother and more efficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e•\u003cspan class=\"Apple-tab-span\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnti-Panic Function:\u003c\/b\u003e Automatically locks the device if the release lever is pulled too far, adding an extra layer of safety—ideal for both beginners and experienced users.
