Description

An ultra light, multi-purpose belay/rappel tool, the Petzl Reverso 3 Belay Device provides a wide range of friction that manages variable rope sizes and uses. Lightweight and easy to use, the asymmetric V-shaped grooved friction channels regulate the amount of braking friction on the rope according to its diameter and conditions. The Reverso 3 provides effective braking on half and twin ropes to 7.5 mm, and effective braking on single ropes to 8.9 mm. To enhance team logistics this device can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers, independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers, and can be used for rappelling. This tool also allows for quick change-over from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes.

great all purpose belay-rappel device
June 29, 2011

The Petzl Reverso, although the original, has competition in similar products such as the Black Diamond ATC Guide device. The Petzl weighs just a few grams less and costs a little more. I have no complaints about this device. It has so many different options for belaying and should be carried by anyone engaging in a multi-pitch climb. It has so many options that it may well save your life. At the gym, I use a GriGri, but outside, I prefer the Reverso.

Pros: Build quality, Lasts forever, Performance

Best Belay Device Ever
November 05, 2008

I got one as a gift. I have to say, its catches far more effectively than my old ATC. I use it for belaying when I'm sport climbing, and it has pretty much replaced my Gri-gri. The Reverso3 feeds smootthly, even with fat 11mm ropes. It will hold every diameter of rope I have tried, with very little gripping force. Also, design of this Reverso seems lighter. I can't wait to take it trad climbing. If you're thinking about buying a Gri-Gri, do yourself a favor. Get the Reverso3 and a cam for the same price as a Gri-gri.
