AUTO BELAY FAQ
What is an Auto Belay?
An auto belay is an automatic belay device that takes up slack as a climber ascends the climbing wall. When the climber reaches the top, or if they fall, the auto belay catches the climber and slowly lowers them to the ground. New climbers can learn to love the movement of climbing before they learn the technical skills of belaying.
Is there a weight limit?
The Trublue auto belay is designed to accommodate climbers weighing 22lbs-330lbs.
How does it work?
Trublue is the only auto belay on the market to use magnetic braking technology which is more reliable than friction based braking systems. The magnetic braking inside a TRUBLUE adjusts automatically and responds to the weight of the climber. This means children and adults will both have a smooth experience with similar rates of descent.
