ERSO

Petzl's lightest belay/rappel device with Adaptive Rope Control technology

The VERSO is a simplified version of the REVERSO offering a lighter and more compact option for climbers looking to further reduce the weight/size of their rack of gear. The asymmetrical V-shaped grooved friction channels adapt the friction for better control using our ARC (Adaptive Rope Control) technology.

• Ultra-light design:
  
  - 31 % lighter than the Reverso
  
  - hot-forged aluminum
  
  - Weight: 57 g


• Single device for all ropes:
  
  - single ropes = 8.9 mm
  
  - half ropes = 8 mm
  
  - twin ropes = 7.5 mm


• ARC technology adapts to the diameter of rope used by increasing or decreasing the braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and conditions


• Increased friction on thinner ropes


• Adapted friction for efficiency with larger diameter ropes


• Asymmetrical grooved sidewalls decrease friction when taking in slack for greater ease of use


• Super compact design is easy to use and doesn't take up much space on your rack


• Rope friendly design separates the two strands of rope when belaying with half/twin ropes or while rappelling thus helping to prevents kinks


• Stiff keeper cable will not get sucked into the device, helps maintain the optimal position during use, and aids in preventing loss during transitions


• Usage diagram engraved on device for ease of use


• Use with symmetrical shaped locking carabiners (Am'D or OK) to maximize efficiency no matter which end is closest to the device.
