Petzl Universo

This belay system combines a VERSO and an ATTACHE 3D held in optimal position by a sliding connection piece. 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
