Why should you go for the Pinch for your single-rope belaying needs?
Just to name a few advantages - it clips straight into your belay loop, works just as well for lefties, and the steel braking grooves makes for a smooth lead belaying experience. On multi-pitch it mounts at four different angles at the anchor, so you can always belay from a position that actually works.
It's also now available in Blue! And for only £85.50 from our shop.
