The Giga Jul belay device from Edelrid combines the functions of a tube and an auto-tube in a compact design. It is specifically designed for sport and alpine climbing, offering an intelligent mechanism that allows the user to activate or deactivate the brake-assist auto-tube function as needed. This enables situation-dependent belaying and rappelling, particularly in alpine environments. The device is suitable for ropes with a diameter of 7.1 to 10.5 mm and features a smart hybrid construction that combines a lightweight aluminum body with abrasion-resistant stainless steel components. An additional loop facilitates easy unlocking in the rappel mode, while the tube mode allows for quick rappelling and comfortable belaying from a stance. The auto-tube mode provides brake-assist, making catching falls in lead climbing safer.
