Discover the next evolution in climbing safety and performance with the EDELRID Jul 2. This intelligently designed assisted braking belay device masterfully combines the intuitive, fluid handling of a classic tuber with the enhanced security of a locking mechanism. Built for climbers who demand reliability without compromising on performance, the Jul 2 is your trusted partner for sport climbing, gym sessions, and single-pitch adventures.

Unmatched Braking Performance and Security

The core of the Jul 2´s design is its exceptional assisted braking capability. In the event of a sudden fall, the device is engineered to engage the rope, significantly increasing the braking force and helping the belayer to catch the fall securely and with less effort. This feature provides an invaluable layer of safety and confidence for both the climber and the belayer, allowing you to focus on the movement ahead. The robust body ensures reliable blocking of the rope with minimal manual force, making it an ideal choice for projecting routes or working with climbers of different weights.

Fluid, Controlled Rope Handling

A common challenge with assisted braking devices is paying out slack quickly for a lead climber. The EDELRID Jul 2 excels in this area. Its refined geometry and ergonomic design allow for exceptionally smooth and fast rope payout. By simply holding the device in the "open" position with your thumb, you can feed slack effortlessly, ensuring your climber is never short-roped on a critical clip. When it comes to lowering a climber or rappelling, the Jul 2 offers a superior level of control. By using a carabiner in the dedicated release eyelet as a lever, you can initiate a smooth, controlled, and jerk-free descent, making the experience comfortable and secure for the person on the other end of the rope.

Durable, Lightweight, and Versatile Design

Crafted for longevity, the Jul 2 features a durable body that is highly resistant to the abrasion and heat generated during intensive use, preventing premature wear and ensuring a long service life. Unlike devices with complex moving parts, its simple, solid construction means there are fewer components to worry about, enhancing its overall reliability. Its lightweight and compact profile means it takes up minimal space on your harness and adds negligible weight, making it perfect for everything from a quick gym session to a long day at the crag. The Jul 2 is optimized for a wide range of single rope diameters (8.9 – 11.0 mm), offering fantastic versatility whether you´re using a skinny project rope or a durable workhorse rope. It also includes a guide mode, allowing you to easily and securely belay one or two seconding climbers from above, making it a valuable tool for multi-pitch scenarios.

The EDELRID Jul 2 is the definitive choice for climbers seeking the perfect synthesis of safety, intuitive operation, and long-lasting durability in a single, compact package
