VERSO: Petzl's lightest belay/rappel device with Adaptive Rope Control technology
The VERSO is a simplified version of the REVERSO³, 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 Petzl's ARC (Adaptive Rope Control) technology.
• Ultra-light design:
- 31 % lighter than the Reverso³
- 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
