    Belay devices are mechanical pieces of climbing equipment used by belayers to safely control the rope and arrest falls. They allow belayers to easily manage belaying duties with minimal effort and allow small belayers to arrest heavy climbers. Belay devices have two modes - one where the rope moves freely and another that forces the rope into tight bends to generate friction and heat to slow a falling climber. Some devices automatically transition between modes while others require action from the belayer. Belay devices attach to a belayer's harness and are usually made of aluminum or alloys.

    Belay devices are mechanical pieces of climbing equipment used to control a rope duringbelaying.

    [1] They are designed to improve belay safety for the climber by allowing the belayer to manage their duties with minimal physical effort. With the right belay device, a small, weak climber can easily arrest the fall of a much heavier partner. Belay devices act as a friction brake, so that when a climber falls with any slack in the rope, the fall is brought to a stop. Belay devices generally have two modes of operation: in the first mode, the rope is relatively free to be paid in/out by the belayer. The second mode, which allows the belayer to arrest the descent of a climber in the case of a fall, functions by forcing the rope(s) into tight bends where the rope rubs against the belay device and/or against itself. This rubbing slows the rope, but also generates heat. Some types of belay devices can transition between these modes without the belayer taking any action, others require the belayer to hold or pull the rope in a particular direction to arrest a fall. Belay devices usually attach to the harness of the belayer via a carabiner, and are usually made of aluminium or an alloy. Some belay devices can also be used as descenders for a controlled descent on a rope, that is abseiling or rappeling. Many belay devices can be used to control either one rope, or two ropes in parallel. There are many reasons why the two-rope option might be chosen by a climber, including the consideration of reducing rope drag.
