Assisted braking climbing belaying devices are used to stop the fall of the lead climber. They are essentially based on tubular belaying devices but are equipped with a camming device that comes into play when the rope is put under tension (in case of a fall). The device helps the belayer in their task to stop the fall; however, the rope must always be held firmly, even by using this king of devices. Assisted braking devices can be used with a single rope and they usually have a lever that allows to release the rope once the camming device has sprung.
CAMP was born in 1889 in Premana (LC) as founded by the blacksmith Nicola Codega. He and his family produced the gear that helped the Italian soldiers move on the Italian mountains during the First World War. They particularly developed the ice axes. By the end of the Second World War the legendary Italian mountaineer Riccardo Cassin started working with the Codega family, and the brand became a landmark in the production of mountaineering and climbing gear.
