Ohm II Assisted-Braking Resistor

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I’ve used the Ohm II on countless gym and sport routes with partners way heavier than me, and it’s a total game-changer. It takes the edge off big weight differences and makes lowering smooth and safe. The updated swivel and clip design make setup quick, no fumbling at the first bolt."

When we’re climbing with partners who outweigh us, the Edelrid Ohm II gives us the confidence to belay without fear of getting lifted off the ground. This clever assisted-braking resistor clips to the first bolt, adding just the right amount of friction to balance the system while keeping rope handling smooth and intuitive.

Edelrid refined the Ohm’s design in this second generation with a swivel joint that allows for any clipping direction and a secure locking system to prevent accidental opening. It’s easier to load, easier to clean, and keeps the belay flow natural—so we can focus on the send, not the setup.
