Petzl Verso #1 © Lyon Equipment, Apr 2009
Ultralight belay/rappel device with Adaptive Rope Control technology.
The VERSO is a simplified version of the REVERSO³ offering a lighter and more compact option for climbers looking to further reduce the weight/size of their rack of gear. The asymmetrical V-shaped grooved friction channels adapt the friction for better control using our ARC (Adaptive Rope Control) technology.
Ultra-light design:
- 31 % lighter than the Reverso³
- Hot-forged aluminum
- Weight: 57 g
Single device for all ropes:
- Single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
- Half ropes ≥ 8 mm
- Twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm
Features:
- ARC technology adapts to the diameter of rope used by increasing or decreasing the braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and conditions
- Increased friction on thinner ropes
- Adapted friction for efficiency with larger diameter ropes
- Asymmetrical grooved sidewalls decrease friction when taking in slack for greater ease of use
- Super compact design is easy to use and doesn't take up much space on your rack
- Rope friendly design separates the two strands of rope when belaying with half/twin ropes or while rappelling thus helping to prevents kinks
- Stiff keeper cable will not get sucked into the device, helps maintain the optimal position during use, and aids in preventing loss during transitions
- Usage diagram engraved on device for ease of use
- Use with symmetrical shaped locking carabiners (Am'D or OK) to maximize efficiency no matter which end is closest to the device
