Product Info for Edelrid Ohm Assisted Braking Device
The Edelrid Ohm Belay Device is an assisted-braking resistor to increase rope friction when there is a large weight difference between the belayer and lead climber. In the event of a fall, the Ohm increases the amount of rope friction so that a lighter belayer can hold a heavier lead climber without difficulty.
Features of Edelrid Ohm Assisted Braking Device:
Belayer requires significantly less hand braking force to arrest a fall
Lowering a heavier climber is much easier to control
Ohm is attached at the first bolt in the safety chain
Should a climber fall at the first bolt, the Ohm significantly reduces the risk of a possible ground fall
Rope handling when belaying a lead climber not affected (no additional friction when paying out rope)

My son weighs 100lbs and I'm 170. So this is very handy.
