Be Up
The Be Up is Climbing Technology’s new belay device for 2015. It’s innovative design can be used in a multitude of ways and with an unprecedented range of rope diameters.
The effective, modular braking of the rope works through the specially designed “V” notches to guarantee better braking control when arresting a fall, abseiling or bringing up seconds. While belaying the leader on a multipitch route using two ropes the Be Up lets you pay out one rope while the other is locked-off.
Be Up also allows the unlocking of the rope and lowering of one free-hanging second, without difficulty, with twin or half Ø ≥ 7.3 mm ropes. The Be Up is the only such device that lets you do this simply by inserting a normal HMS carabiner in the unlocking hole.
The Be Up‘s special shape and the attachment ring built into the body allow you to bring up one or two seconds using twin or half ropes with Ø ≥ 7.3 mm. You can also continue to bring-up one second while the other is hanging with their rope locked-off in the Be Up.
