The Edelrid Ohmega is an advanced assisted-braking device designed to revolutionize belaying when there is a significant weight difference between climbing partners. Functioning as the optimized successor to the Edelrid Ohm, it clips into the first bolt to increase rope friction during a fall. This keeps the lighter belayer safely grounded. Featuring enhanced ergonomics for paying out rope, this climbing safety gear is the ultimate choice for building confidence and safety both indoors and at the crag.

Edelrid Ohmega – More Safety for Large Weight Differences

The Edelrid Ohmega is the sophisticated successor to the revolutionary Edelrid Ohm. Operating as an intelligent assisted-braking device, it is attached directly to the first bolt in the safety chain. In the event of a fall by a heavier lead climber, the device drastically increases rope friction. This allows a significantly lighter belayer to hold the fall effortlessly without being violently pulled off the ground. The Edelrid Ohmega noticeably optimizes rope management, offering smoother paying out while ensuring maximum safety and confidence for the climbing duo.

Your Advantages with the Edelrid Ohmega:

Perfect Weight Compensation: Enables safe belaying even when the lead climber is significantly heavier than the belayer.
Improved Rope Handling: The revised geometry ensures extremely low friction when paying out or taking in rope during normal climbing.
No Uncontrolled Lifting: In a fall scenario, the impact force is heavily mitigated, keeping the lighter belayer safely and stably on the ground.
Dynamic Belaying Preserved: Despite the increased friction, the fall is not locked statically, ensuring a soft, joint-friendly catch.
Easy Implementation: The device is clipped into the first bolt just like a standard quickdraw and functions independently of the belay device used.

Expert Tip for Mixed Climbing Partners

"The Ohmega is an absolute game-changer for couples or climbing partners with a large weight discrepancy. If you used the original version, you'll love the refined rope feed during quick clips – it snags noticeably less. It's an absolute must-have that removes the fear of heavy falls for the belayer and gives the leader total freedom to push their limits!"
