The Chroniclings of a Gear Head

The UNIVERSO is a complete and lightweight belay system that is particularly comfortable and efficient to use on all rope diameters. This system consists of a VERSO belay device, an ATTACHE 3D carabiner and an exclusive sliding connection piece.

• Exclusive connection piece allows the VERSO belay device to remain in position and the ATTACHE 3D carabiner to work along its major axis
• Connection piece also limits the risk of dropping the belay device during rope maneuvers
• Easy and quick installation on the rope
• Reduced risk of being burnt by the belay device when removing it from the rope
• System is easily reversed (right/left)
• A single device for all rope types:
  - effective braking on half and twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm
  - effective braking on single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
• V-shaped friction channels:
  - increased friction on thin ropes
  - friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
• Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:
  - increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
  - rope smoothly slides through device when taking up slack
• Rope friendly, facilitates belay and rope handling:
  - does not twist the rope
  - separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling
