Description
When you already are the world leaders in the field of assisted belay devices, everyone listens when you develop a new top tier product!
The Petzl Neo is specifically designed for high-end lead belaying where quickly and smoothly paying out slack is as important as the catch. Perfect for gym and crag use, its wheel system gives you precise control while paying out slack to the climber. The ergonomic handle ensures a comfortable descent, while its compatibility with a range of rope sizes (8.5-11mm) makes it versatile and efficient.
Petzl Neox Assisted Belay Device Features
Belay device with cam-assisted blocking, optimized for lead climbing:
- For belaying both lead and top rope climbers
- Optimized for lead climbing, it has an integrated wheel that allows you to smoothly and quickly pay out slack to the climber
- Cam-assisted blocking for a more comfortable belay: when the climber falls or weights the system, the rope tightens, the wheel stops spinning, and the cam pivots to pinch and block the rope
Easy to use:
- Easy to install the rope with diagram engraved on the belay device
- Feeding slack and catching falls are accomplished using techniques standard to all Petzl belay devices, always keeping a hand on the brake side of the rope
- Cam-assisted blocking offers leeway for the brake-side hand position, regardless of the angle between the climber side and brake side of the rope
- Compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes and optimized for those 8.9 to 10.5 mm
Descent control:
- Ergonomic handle allows you to easily unblock the rope and lower someone
- 3:1 mechanical advantage from the handle and camming mechanism helps reduce the amount of effort needed to smoothly control the rate of descent, regardless of rope diameter
Eco-design:
- all plastic components, including the handle, are made with recycled nylon
