Product Info for Mad Rock Safeguard Belay

For climbing use: 8.9mm to 11mm rope diameter

Mad Rock Safeguard

by Alan Alford, Verified Owner from AR, United States Updated on August 22, 2024

It does what it is designed for and after a little practice is smooth and consistent as a climbing aid. I have found it to be very reliable and it locks instantly when you need it to. Even with that all said I still use a secondary backup prusik knot when climbing.

Would recommend: Yes

Works Great!!

by Corrosive77, Verified Owner from WV, United States Updated on August 22, 2024

I use this device to rappel out of trees while Saddle Hunting…. Very smooth and solid. I use it with a 9mm Canyon Elite Ripe with no slipping. I highly recommend this product. They were hard to find last year however they are In Stock in most places now.

Recreational Tree Climbing Lanyard Adjuster?

by RecTreeClimber, from WA, United States Updated on August 22, 2024

For Tree Climbers....I got my Safeguard and did some low and slow practice maneuvers using a throw hook/lanyard. The difference between the Safeguard and the Lifeguard, is what makes the (non-spring) Safeguard suitable for Tree Climbing, whereas the Lifeguard is not. 1st impression was that it seems a bit frail. The moving parts rattle around a bit when unweighted, and when li...

Solid construction and works as expected

by Darren, from TN, United States Updated on August 22, 2024

Using this as a hold/descender with 8mm rope for saddle hunting and it worked flawlessly. I watched a video or two on how to use it and one of them enabled me to confidently gear up pre-light. I would highly recommend this!

ISA Certified Arborist

by Climbing Arborist, from VA, United States Updated on September 6, 2020

I like the compact design of this device. The light weight is a plus. It releases pretty smoothly under load, and tends slack pretty easily. I use this as a work positioning lanyard when I need a second attachment point.

Would recommend: Yes

Awesome belay device

by SgtCornCob, Verified Owner from AL, United States Updated on September 28, 2019

This is a great belay device, smaller and more solidly built than any GriGri, less expensive as well. Nice to be able to set it and let go of the brake strand when in self belay mode. The weight of the rope in conjunction with the springless design makes it very safe. The only caveat is if you want to feed out line you have to apply force to the brake release which might be con...
