“I've used the original Edelrid Ohm extensively indoors and outdoors. I decided to upgrade to the Ohm II as reviews suggested better performance.
Main improvements are twofold. First the swivel joint is a game changer in terms of clipping into the bolt with no possibility of back clipping. Second the device is easier to open especially when removing the rope while cleaning the route.
The original Ohm was a truly innovative piece of equipment, the second version takes the perfomance and ease of use to the next level.
As ever Dick's Climbing service was brilliant, keeping me well informed and offering options when their promised supply from Edelrid didn't come through on time. Dick's is my first choice online retailer for climbing equipment.”
“Brilliant device, allows me to belay for my buddy who weighs almost 120kg. I weigh 66kg for reference.
Handily the Ohm II has an updated design over the first Ohm which means the clipping direction doesn't matter which is a very nice improvement.
It's pricey but absolutely worth the cost if you're using it regularly as we are.”
