Belay devices and descenders
Belay Devices
For safe belaying K2 currently carries three belaying devices: the
Auto-stop, our classic ClimbController and the Double Reverse.
The Auto-Stop is a handy device meant for indoor
and sport climbing only, which automatically blocks, taking away
the risk of rope slipping through. The ClimbController is an easy-to-use
belaying device that resembles the functionalities of the classic
Figure Eight, but offers smoother handling. The Double Reverse is
a belaying device and a descender and can be used for single and
double ropes.

Descenders
K2 has developed three descenders: the Figure Eight, the Stopper
and the Diablo.
For sport climbing and mountaineering we still
recommend the classic Figure Eight. The Stopper was developed as
an automatically braking device, which is extremely useful for caving
and long descents. The Diablo is a device specifically for canyoning.
It can be used in many different ways in order to gain the desired
amount of friction during descent..
