@@edelrid By the way, thanks for this video! Really interesting to hear the details discussed in a longer format by someone who was involved in the design and has high level of knowledge about different belay devices. At 23:18 I was never aware of this tip of continuing to push the lever down, and now with this simple knowledge I find the lever much less annoying in certain situations.
Can you guys provide some insights about using Pinch belaying leaders directly from anchor in multi-pitch scenario (as opposed to belaying from belay loop)? One of the earlier video mentioned it, but it is not much discussed.
Regarding the use of a carbiner for belaying at an achor or repelling, the reason is that your bely loop is already under tension, and thus, it can be a bit finicky to place the pinch. Why not use a harness with 2 belay loops then ?
Theoretically yes, given that the harness provides two central rings/belay loops, which can be fully loaded individually. This mustn't be misinterpreted for harnesses with two 1/2 belay loops, which have to be loaded simultaneously-- such as with our LOOPO harness family. There are currently very few harnesses on the market that fulfil this requirement. The easiest way to overcome this would be to use a carabiner.
Hey Steve! Thanks for your question. We recommend referring to our user manual for detailed instructions and best practices regarding the PINCH. You can check it out here: avs.edelrid.com/images/attribut/54692_GAL_Pinch_ANSICHT_DINA4_Homepage.pdf
Can you tell me how to do the buddy check? What are the points to look for? I'm interested because I used the pinch and my partner didn't know the device. Is a visual check ok or how do you make sure the device is closed and the rope properly installed?
For a partner check, you can refer to our user manual for a visual representation and textual explanation: avs.edelrid.com/images/attribut/54692_GAL_Pinch_ANSICHT_DINA4_Homepage.pdf Hope this helps! 🙂 You can also check out other FAQs about the PINCH here: edelrid.com/eu-en/sport/belay-devices/pinch
Okay, I get it. I'll buy it. I want to buy it. But I can't buy it. It's sold out in every online and offline store. Why? If you can't supply it properly, don't advertise it.
Hi! We recommend checking with your local retailers (they should be restocked!) or keeping an eye on our authorized distributors. We’re working hard to keep up with demand and hope you’ll be able to get your hands on one soon. 😊
I appreciate the effort put into providing more insight into this device 👍
At first I really was not sure about this device but the more I see and the more I learn the more tempted I am to purchase one.
Let's hear more about pinch for rope soloing
Stay tuned! 🤓

Does the video explain how the device is "ideal also for left-handers" as advertised on fb? If yes, can you share the min/sec?

Is there something like a gaswerk method for the pinch?

Surely you would notice a the side plate is offset if not locked correctly.
