Description & Tech Specs

ZAED is an adjustable belay resistor that allows lightweight climbers to belay their heavier climbing partner. It allows for soft belaying - our testers say ZAED feels like belaying / being belayed by a climber of the same weight. Now you can enjoy sports climbing with soft belays, regardless of the weight difference.

The ZAED is an alternative option to the Edelrid Ohm. By comparison, the ZAED is 105 grams lighter (stainless steel version), slightly cheaper, offers several adjustable friction settings, and allows the belayer to pay slack more easily.
