Petzl Reverso 3 Belay and Rappel Device

Item #PTZ0226 | 7 in Stock
3 Star Rating

New Reverso not so good for thick rope

By Ranked #118 - Big Wall Climbing September 8, 2008

I am a big fan of auto-locking belay devices - nice to have free hands when belaying the second so I can take photos, eat, and scratch my ass. Warning though, the new reverso does not work well with 11mm rope - it is a push to get an 11mm rope into the new reverso and tends to bind during auto-lock belaying. The old reverso works fine with 11mm
