Black Diamond Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device
The Super 8 Belay/Rappel Device is Black Diamond's original device for Search and Rescue professionals, and it makes an excellent lo-fi addition to any climber's rack. Its lightweight, compact shape is an ideal choice for minimalist climbers, as well as a tuck-away lifesaver if you drop your primary device at the top of a route, right before the rappel.

It does the job
These belay devices are not sexy but they do their job. Nice size and weight, and above all, helps to provide a bit of friction for safely controlling inertia and becoming an unfortunate statistic. Reasonably priced, so kit up with more than one.

Always good!
I’ve been using the Super 8 for guiding canyons and personal use, for a good 16 years now. Put them through it and they always show up as a great, reliable product. I’ll probably continue using them for as long as they’re made or as long as I last!
