reverso

A Reverso is a belay device developed and patented by Petzl, used for example in rock-climbing and other activities which involves rope-work. Another version of this device is the Reversino, intended for use with thinner ropes.A Reverso can be used to belay the leader, one or two seconds, or a descender during rapelling. It can also be used in self-braking mode, to belay one or two seconds, if attached directly to the belay.A Reverso is similar in design and use to an ATC when belaying a lead climber from below. A Rope passes through the reverso, through a carabiner attached to both the reverso and the belayers harness, and back through the same hole in the reverso. This creates the friction required to properly belay a climber.
