Ohmega Belay Device

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I like the OHMEGA when I’m belaying partners with a big weight difference or climbing in busy gyms. It’s super light, clips in quickly, and the adjustable braking levels actually make a noticeable difference in fall control. I also appreciate how smoothly the rope feeds thanks to the integrated pulley—it stays out of the way until you really need it."

We reach for the OHMEGA from EDELRID when we want a belay setup that feels calmer, smoother, and more controlled. Whether we’re in the gym, working routes at the crag, or clipping bolts on long alpine sport climbs, it adds confidence for both climber and belayer without changing the flow of the climb.

At just 190g, the OHMEGA is compact enough to live in our pack every day. The HMPE sling lets us quickly adjust between three braking levels to match different weight pairings, while the integrated pulley keeps rope drag low when climbing and clipping. In a fall, the cam engages to support the belayer, reduce impact forces, and help prevent ground contact or collisions on low falls.
