Skylotec Be Up climbing belay device

The Be Up by Skylotec is a multifunctional belay and rappel device with an innovative and compact design, ideal for those who practice mountaineering, sport climbing on multi-pitch routes, and trad. This extremely versatile device is designed for use with half ropes, twin ropes, and single ropes, offering smooth and secure handling at every stage of the climb. Thanks to its modular braking system and special V-shaped grooves, it allows for stopping a fall or controlling the descent on double rope with extreme precision, preventing the ropes from twisting. A unique feature is its ability to give slack to the lead climber quickly and smoothly, even allowing one rope to slide while the other remains locked. In the second's recovery mode, the Be Up allows for independent and self-locking management of one or two partners, ensuring the possibility of recovering a person even if the other is hanging on the device. The geometry of the body, made from hot-forged aluminum for maximum strength and lightness, includes an easily identifiable integrated attachment ring to reduce the risks of incorrect maneuvers. Another strong point is the ease of unlocking under tension: by inserting a simple carabiner into the designated hole, it is possible to lower a second climber into the void progressively and effortlessly. The device also facilitates quick switching from recovery mode to belaying the lead in alternating pitch climbs. Completing the technical profile is a plastic-coated steel cable that makes the device unlosable and limits its movement during use. Suitable for half ropes and twin ropes with a diameter of 7.3 mm or greater, the Be Up represents a definitive solution for the demanding climber seeking functionality and safety in a single lightweight tool.
