The Petzl VERSO is the lightest belay/rappel device in the Petzl range, designed for cragging and indoor climbing. Ideally suited for climbers looking to lighten their rack, the VERSO offers a simplified design without the “Guide Mode” eyelets found on the Reverso. It accommodates a broad range of rope diameters, from skinny half ropes to standard single ropes. The V-shaped friction grooves enable controlled braking, while the rounded design of the rope slots limits wear and extends the life of your gear. Simple & Effective: An economical and ultra-light choice for belaying a leader or rappelling.
ULTRA-LIGHTWEIGHT: Weighing only 55g, the VERSO is the lightest belay device in the Petzl lineup; ideal for climbers prioritizing weight savings.
VERSATILE COMPATIBILITY: Compatible with single ropes (8.5 to 11 mm), half ropes (7.1 to 9.2 mm), and twin ropes (6.9 to 9.2 mm).
CONTROLLED BRAKING: Features V-shaped friction grooves with asymmetrical lateral channels that adapt the friction to the rope type for fluid control.
ROPE PROTECTION: The rounded design of the rope slots limits wear and preserves the life of the rope for long-term durability.
INTUITIVE USE: Diagrams for rope installation (belay and rappel modes) are engraved directly on the device for ease of use and safety checks.
