The Variable Controller was designed after a detailed study of the dynamics of belaying and rappelling. The result was a unique wedge shape, which gives climbers a choice between smooth controlled rappelling and snatch free belaying. The Variable Controller's narrow slots combine with the narrow side of the wedge to force the ropes into a tight ‘S’ bend controlling the rope smoothly and effectively particularly when rappelling with modern lightweight half and single ropes. By reversing the Variable Controller to allow the rope to feed into the deep end of the wedge you can belay and payout in complete control, the long lease ensuring a snatch free payout even with chalked up wall ropes. The Variable Controller is forged from HE 30 aluminium with enough material to dissipate heat, yet remain lightweight. This together with the large and smooth rope grooves ensure long-term durability and minimum rope wear. The Variable Controller is also available combined with our dedicated Belay biner, together they make the perfect double/single rope belay system.
