About the Petzl Verso
Super lightweight and responsive belay device by Petzl, the Verso features asymmetrical V-shaped grooved friction channels which adapt the friction on different sized ropes for better control using Petzl's ARC (Adaptive Rope Control) technology.
The ARC technology adapts to the diameter of the rope used by increasing or decreasing the braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and condition. Asymmetrical grooved sidewalls decrease friction when taking in slack for greater ease of use. It's rope friendly design separates the two strands of rope when belaying with half/twin ropes or while rappelling, thus helping to prevents kinks. The Verso comes in a super compact, sleek design which easy to use and won't take up much space or add much weight to your rack.
