Trango B-52 Belay Device The B-52 is the first belay device which was designed from a total performance point-of-view. In developing the B-52 Trango didn't stop designing when they got a device that had great stopping power. That part was easy. The rockered bottom of the B-52 allows you to stop falls with solid authority, regardless of what rope diameter you’re using. From there Trango went on to tweak it so it has an almost frictionless and jam-free feed. Nobody wants to get pumped hauling rope through a belay device so Trango made sure that the feed was easy and smooth. Additionally, it’s next to impossible the get a rope jam when you’re feeding rope, so short-roping your leader is a thing of the past. Rappelling with the B-52 is a thing of beauty. We’ve all gotten used to the jerky-at-the-top/terrifying-at-the-bottom rappel sequence offered up by most belay/rappel devices. The B-52 changes all that with extremely smooth starts and controlled descents all the way down. For advanced climbers and guides doing multi-pitch routes, the B-52 can be used as an "autoblock" device that will lock the rope automatically when the leader is bringing up a climber from below. And in a pinch, the B-52 can be used as an emergency ascender. The B-52 is CNC machined from 7075-T6 aluminum so it will last 2 to 3 times longer than other devices. The carrying cable is 1x19 stainless steel standing rigging cable (the same stuff used in a lot of U-frame cams) so it won’t get sucked into your rope and it’s sheathed in a tough nylon-6 housing that won’t abrade through after a couple of climbs.
