The second generation of the assisted-braking resistor for increasing the braking effect when climbing in rope teams with major weight differences now has a swivel joint that improves its freedom of movement. As a result, the Ohm can now be clipped to the first bolt in any direction. The locking system prevents the device from opening accidentally and makes it easier to insert the rope and remove the Ohm when lowering. In the event of a fall, the rope is pulled into the Ohm’s brake unit to progressively arrest the fall. Instead of stopping the rope abruptly, the device slows its run-through speed. This enables the belayer to dynamically arrest the fall irrespective of the belay device used. The belayer requires far less hand strength to hold the brake rope and will not be uncontrollably pulled upwards or against the wall.
