Experience a new era of belaying with the Edelrid Pinch, an advanced assisted braking belay device designed for sport climbing, multi-pitch routes, and rope access techniques. The Pinch is the first device that can be attached directly to the harness&'; central ring, ensuring a low, ergonomic position that enhances rope control and eliminates cross-loading risks. With frontal steel braking grooves, the device minimizes rope tangles and improves durability, while the integrated anti-panic function automatically locks the rope if the release lever is pulled too far. The Pinch also features a second braking tier, allowing for controlled lowering of light climbers or in high-friction systems. It can be mounted at a belay station in four different orientations, ensuring seamless operation in any setup. Whether you&';re a sport climber, a multi-pitch enthusiast, or a rope access technician, the Pinch delivers precision, control, and safety like never before.
