My go-to top rope solo setup: Micro Traxion as the primary device and Edelrid Spoc as the backup. Flex-Link on the lower device to keep things aligned for smooth feeding. Neck lanyard adjusted to hold the top device upright. Simple, redundant, and smooth to climb on. What’s your TRS system of choice? | Avant Climbing Innovations

The Pinch isn’t Edelrid’s only “new” belay device this year. They also refreshed the MegaJul! This one is a bit less exciting than some of their product refreshes. Here is a rundown: ✨The brake assistance should be a bit stronger. ✨The guide eye and thumb loop are a little bigger. ✨It got ~7 grams heavier according to our scale, Edelrid says it is 10 grams heavier. ✨It is only rated for ropes up to 10 mm in diameter, instead of 10.5 mm like the old one. We have exactly 1 of the old style left on
