On Top Klettern Rope brake TopStop Compact

Simpler and safer: the OnTop Rope Brake TopStop Compact. The OnTop Rope Brake TopStop Compact now guarantees even more safety. By simplifying the securing process, potential sources of error, such as incorrectly threading the rope into the belay device or improper use of belaying techniques, are minimized. It is the ideal belay device for beginners, school classes, or other groups.

Unlike conventional redirects, the rope is not only simply but also multiple times guided over pulleys. This reduces the effort required by the belayer when rappelling to about 110% of the climber's weight. This means that a person weighing 70 kg only exerts approximately 7 kg of pull on the belayer's end of the rope.

Safety advantages:

• Very easy-to-learn system for beginners
• Simple to convey functionality, especially in large groups, school classes, etc.
• Possible motor errors when belaying are minimized, as there is no need to switch hands from the pull rope to the brake rope as with the figure-eight or HMS belaying
• Option for double belaying with TopStop figure-eight belaying, further reducing hazards when belaying and allowing the technique of belaying with the figure-eight to be learned safely
