NEOX

Self-locking belay device and positioner with integrated sheave, to limit friction when not loaded.

The great novelty of the NEOX compared to the GRIGRI is the presence of a V-groove idler pulley which rotates freely when not loaded and locks by tilting when under load.

Advantage: Gain in fluidity to provide slack

Descriptif

Belay device with cam-assisted blocking, optimized for lead climbing:
* For belaying both lead and top rope climbers
* Optimized for lead climbing, it has an integrated wheel that allows you to smoothly and quickly pay out slack to the climber
* Cam-assisted blocking for a more comfortable belay: when the climber falls or weights the system, the rope tightens, the wheel stops spinning, and the cam pivots to pinch and block the rope

Easy to use:
* Easy to install the rope with diagram engraved on the belay device
* Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using techniques standard to all Petzl belay devices, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope
* Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the rope
* Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm

Descent control:
* Ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
* 3:1 mechanical advantage from the handle and camming mechanism helps reduce the amount of effort needed to smoothly control the rate of descent, regardless of rope diameter
