Climbing is considered an extreme sport, and with its practice comes greater risk and requires above-average skills and adequate preparation. One of the basic elements of climbing equipment is therefore belaying and rappelling devices. Thanks to them, you can maintain full safety both when climbing on rocks, conquering high peaks and during rappelling. They will also work well during training on a climbing wall. The increasingly ambitious goals and achievements of modern climbers motivate manufacturers of this type of equipment to introduce newer and newer solutions and innovations to ensure their safety during vertical approaches. In our store you will find products of reliable construction, made of lightweight metal alloys, providing the user with the highest level of safety. The belay and downhill instrument should be selected according to your own skills and requirements during the activity. Descent instruments are designed to slow down the speed at which the rope moves, whether during an independent descent, while belaying a partner, or during a sudden descent.
In terms of the principle of operation, they can be divided into three groups: classic - based on frictional force, automatic (self-locking), where the equipment is jammed on the rope, and semi-automatic, or intermediate solutions. An irreplaceable classic and the most recognizable device is the belay cup, which will work well both on the climbing wall and when climbing in the field. It is a versatile rappelling device that works with a wide range of ropes, and learning to belay with it is intuitive and simple. In this category you will find lightweight downhill devices in the form of cups together with a carabiner, made of durable aluminum. You can use them for long descents with single and double ropes, both for self-assurance and securing your partner. The carabiner is equipped with a screw-on lock to prevent accidental opening. There are also cups with a V-shaped indentation, which increases the contact surface with the rope and facilitates braking. Also interesting for belay and rappelling devices are upgraded and modernized "cup-like" products such as the Reverso from Petzl. They allow belaying from a lower or upper position, and also provide the possibility of a safe descent. The right shape and contouring ensure smooth sliding of the rope and little risk of twisting. The aluminum creation is lightweight and durable, and can work with different types of ropes (single, double, double-fit).
The equipment enables efficient and safe braking, which is crucial for a downhill device. In our offer you will also find advanced automatic equipment such as Grigri-type devices. It is distinguished from the previously mentioned ones by a mechanism that reacts to sudden jerks of the rope and locks it, which protects the climber who broke away from the rock. The manufacture of such a belay and rappelling device is based on durable materials, such as aluminum, steel and nylon. Advanced equipment of this type, although it provides efficient climbing and significantly improves the comfort of belaying, it should be used by experienced climbers, after prior technical preparation. At Militaria.pl you will find a wide range of rappelling devices from reputable manufacturers of hiking equipment and accessories such as Petzl or Climbing Technology, designed for safe climbing and rappelling. The presented assortment was made of the highest quality components and is characterized by high durability and robustness. Belaying and rappelling instruments are not the only climbing equipment you may need in the mountains. On our site in other categories you will also find a range of complementary products, helpful during outdoor and high mountain expeditions. We offer thermoactive clothing, winter jackets, backpacks and practical climbing equipment such as helmets, carabiners, checks and harnesses.
