When we set out to design the future of auto belays, we challenged ourselves to create a device that would empower our users to accomplish things they never thought possible. With catch-and-hold technology climbers are encouraged to try harder routes, knowing that they now have the ability to fall, rest, and retry the most difficult moves.
We caught up with National Geographic’s 2019 Adventurer of the Year and 2x Para Climbing World Champion, Mo Beck, about how catch-and-hold technology can make auto belays a viable training tool for more adaptive climbers than ever before.
Have you ever desired to fly like Superman? With the Superman Zipline Harness, you can fly headfirst down a zipline while still being secured and protected. The rider's balance is maintained by numerous adjustment points. Even when participants are already on the zipline tower or ZipCoaster, the safety straps make it simple to put on and take off. You are kept in place by high-strength quick-adjust buckles and adjustable shoulder and leg straps. Super comfortable, super safe, and super fun!
Catch-and-Hold belay is the latest feature from TRUBLUE's iQ Series Auto Belays. Available only in the TRUBLUE iQ+, Catch-and-Hold belay is activated and deactivated using two touch-sensitive on/off buttons.
