Petzl Reverso

Yes, it is designed specifically for versatility. It functions perfectly as a standard belay device for single-pitch cragging and includes a dedicated guide mode for belaying one or two followers on multi-pitch routes.

Yes, when used in guide mode, the device features an auto-blocking function that locks the rope if a follower falls, making it safer and easier to manage your partner on multi-pitch climbs.

The Reverso is highly adaptable. It works with single ropes from 8.5 to 11 mm, half ropes from 7.1 to 9.2 mm, and twin ropes from 6.9 to 9.2 mm.

The V-shaped channels provide increased friction, which gives you more control when braking or lowering a climber. This design helps you manage the rope more smoothly, especially with thinner or slicker ropes.

Yes, the Reverso is fully compatible with rappelling. Its geometry is designed to ensure smooth rope glide while you descend, helping to minimize wear on both the rope and the device itself.

It weighs 57 grams. Its lightweight aluminum construction makes it an excellent choice for alpine climbing or long approaches where every ounce counts.
