The Edelrid Ohm is an assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between the belayer and the lead climber. In the event of a fall, the device increases the amount of rope friction so that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber without difficulty.

Details

Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall
Lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control
OHM is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain
Should a lead climber fall at the first bolt, the OHM significantly reduces the risk of a possible ground fall
Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)
Recommended weight difference (lead climber > belayer): 10 - 40 kg
Minimum weight belayer is 40 kg

Rope Diameter	8.9 - 11 mm
Load Capacity	20 kN
Weight	360 g
