About the Petzl Neox
Petlz's Neox belay device is designed for lead climbing and top rope climbing, featuring a cam-assisted blocking mechanism for enhanced comfort during belaying. Specifically optimized for lead climbing, it facilitates smooth and quick slack payout through an integrated wheel. The cam-assisted blocking ensures a secure grip on the rope when the climber falls or weights the system.
Ease of use is a key feature, with engraved diagrams for easy rope installation. The device employs standard Petzl belay techniques for feeding slack and catching falls, allowing flexibility in brake-side hand positioning. It is compatible with 8.5 to 11 mm dynamic single ropes, optimized for those in the range of 8.9 to 10.5 mm.
For descent control, the belay device includes an ergonomic handle that easily unblocks the rope, offering a 3:1 mechanical advantage with the handled camming mechanism. This feature helps control rope feed on small-diameter ropes and requires less effort on the handle for larger-diameter ropes.
Furthermore, the Neox incorporates environmentally responsible practices by utilizing recycled nylon for its plastic components..
