Petzl Reverso 3 Belay and Rappel Device

Item #PTZ0226 | 54 in Stock
5 Star Rating

May be the new best thing

By Ranked #25 - Big Wall Climbing September 16, 2008

I own and/or have used almost every belay/repel device available. Everything from 8s, stich-plates, Kong Gi Gi, Grigris, Cinches, Jaws, B52s, almost every incarnation of ATCs and Reversos, etc. If I was forced to pick one device to use for the rest of my life, this would be it. It doesn't do EVERYTHING but it does do many things better than any other device I've seen. Petzl took BD's ATC Guide made it lighter, rotated the Guide Mode attachment point, and enlarged the quick release hole so that a standard 'biner fits through it. In my opinion, this is the best tube-style device on the market.
