WHAT IS SELF BELAY?

The Self Belay is an innovative climbing connector, which increases safety in climbing and adventure centers by allowing users to climb only when they are properly attached to the device.

The device not only contributes to climbing safety, but also helps operations by reducing the number of required staff members. Participants as young as 5 years of age can use the device on their own.

As of July, 2018, the Self Belay has been approved for use with Kanopeo’s safety systems SAFEROLLER and SPEEDRUNNER, making the deivce compatible with ropes courses, aerial trails and zip lines.
