🚀 👌 MEET THE PINCH — A NEW BELAYING EXPERIENCE.
Versatile. Compact. Intuitive. Built for climbers and rope professionals.
The PINCH is an innovative assisted-braking belay device designed for sport climbing, multi-pitch climbing, and rope access.
🔗 Direct harness connection
The first device designed to attach directly to the harness central ring, keeping the system low and close to the body for improved handling and control.
🖐️ Better rope control
Its compact design allows the brake rope to remain securely gripped with all fingers, while the frontal steel braking grooves provide a more linear rope path to help reduce tangles during lowering and abseiling.
🧗 Pay out more rope
The increased rope span lets the belayer pay out 20–30 cm more rope at once — making rope handling smoother and more efficient.
🛑 Enhanced braking & anti-panic function
Control lowering speed not only with the lever, but also through braking-hand pressure. The anti-panic function adds another layer of safety and control.
⚙️ Integrated second braking tier
For particularly light climbers or systems with high rope friction, the PINCH allows controlled lowering by pulling the lever further.
🔄 4-way multi-pitch setup
At a belay station, the PINCH can be attached in four directions at 90° increments, allowing the lowering lever to be positioned for optimal operation.
Whether you're sport climbing, tackling multi-pitch routes, or working in rope access — the PINCH is designed to give you more control, more versatility, and a better belaying experience.
PINCH. Control in your hands.
