DESCRIPTION

The Trango Cinch self-locking belay device makes belay duty easy when your climbing partner takes a 30-foot whistler and spends the next hour dogging a route. Yard out the slack through its smooth feed when your buddy is pumped stupid and firing the crux clip. The solid camming action locks off easily if he blows the same clip and pitches for some frequent flyer miles. The Trango Cinch works on single ropes from 9-11mm and gives a dynamic catch if the leader's fall factor is greater than one, lowering the impact force on suspect pieces of protection.
