Product Description

We decided to use steel wherever necessary with all products that are used together with ropes when climbing. Hard-wearing steel prevents premature wear from rope friction and burrs or sharp edges and thus makes long-lasting, but prolongs the lifetime of ropes.

Parts that are most critical for abrasions are reinforced with a steel inlay.
Aluminum keeps the gear lightweight, but strong.

Giga Jul

The Most Versatile Belay Device Ever

The Giga Jul is particularly light and simultaneously robust and abrasion resistant. This is made possible by a smart hybrid construction of aluminum and steel. The main body of the Giga Jul is made from particularly light aluminum. Parts which are at risk of wear (for example the friction channels) are made from robust stainless steel. Another chapter in our Steel Story.

By moving the green slider, the Giga Jul is instantly transformed from an assisted braking tuber to a standard tuber.
