Trango B-52 Belay Device

The B-52 Belay Device by Trango has been recently updated. The B-52 is the first belay device designed from a total performance point-of-view and with the refinements we've made recently, its even better. We've beefed up the small end of the device or added durability and subtly rounded the edges and curves making it even smoother to operate.Rappelling with the B-52 is a thing of beauty. We've all gotten used to the jerky-at-the top/terrifying-at-the-bottom rappel sequence offered up by most belay/rappel devices. The B-52 changes all that with extremely smooth starts and controlled descents all the way down.For advanced climbers and guides doing multi-pitch routes, the B-52 can be used as an in.autobloc in. device that will lock the rope automatically when the leader is belaying one or two seconds. In a pinch, the B-52 can be used as an emergency ascender.Features: Positive stop with a wide variety of rope diameters Lightweight Emergency ascender Blissfully smooth rappels with all your different ropes Autobloc Easy to rig
