EDELRID Micro Jul Slate Belay Device.

A compact, ultra-light belay and abseil device for half ropes and twin ropes.

Discover the pinnacle of lightweight performance with the EDELRID Micro Jul, a revolutionary belay and abseil device engineered for the discerning alpinist and multi-pitch climber. Weighing in at a mere 62 grams, this device sets a new standard for minimalist gear without compromising on safety or functionality. Its intelligent design provides the confidence and control you need when navigating challenging vertical terrain, making it an indispensable part of any lightweight rack.

The standout feature of the Micro Jul is its high braking performance, which provides an assisted braking effect to help the belayer catch a fall. This geometry significantly increases the braking power, giving you an extra margin of safety and reducing the hand force required to hold a falling climber. This added security is invaluable during long days on the wall, on strenuous routes, or when belaying with thinner ropes, allowing you to focus on the climb with greater peace of mind.

Versatility is at the core of the Micro Jul´s design. It is optimized for use with half and twin ropes from 6.9 to 8.5 mm in diameter, making it the perfect companion for technical alpine and ice climbing. Beyond lead belaying, it excels in its guide mode functionality. You can easily belay one or two seconding climbers directly from the anchor, and the device’s assisted braking remains active in this configuration. A specially designed small eyelet allows for easy and controlled release of the rope when a second climber is weighting it—simply use a carabiner as a lever for a smooth and gradual lowering process.

When it´s time to descend, the Micro Jul transforms into a highly efficient abseil device. Its robust construction ensures excellent durability and heat dissipation during long rappels, preventing premature wear on both the device and your ropes. The handling is intuitive, allowing for smooth and controlled descents. The symmetrical construction ensures that there is no wrong way to use the device, simplifying operations in high-stress situations. For optimal performance and to fully leverage the assisted braking feature, EDELRID recommends pairing the Micro Jul with the HMS Strike FG or HMS Strike Slider FG carabiner.

Choose the EDELRID Micro Jul for its unparalleled combination of minimal weight, enhanced safety, and multi-functional performance. It is the ultimate tool for climbers who push their limits and demand gear that is as light, reliable, and ambitious as they are
