ZAED pro
ZAED pro is our climbing brake assistant for climbers with a weight difference. It makes it possible for lighter climbing partners to belay heavier climbers. Like our famous first-generation device, it offers three adjustable levels of assistance – so you can dial in the right setting based on your weight difference, rope type, and belay style.
Unlike other devices, ZAED doesn't try to keep the belayer on the ground at all costs. Its core design principle is that the belayer is gently lifted toward the first bolt in a controlled manner. This results in a soft and smooth catch – and climbers around the world tell us that using ZAED feels like climbing with a partner of the same weight.
And the best part? You don’t need to learn new belay techniques. Just belay like you’re used to when climbing with someone your own weight – that’s it.
ZAED pro includes an integrated camming mechanism that supports whippers at the first bolt. It’s designed for allround climbers who want a single device for both gym use and outdoor climbing – especially at classic crags with high first bolts, where support at the first bolt can be critical to avoid ground falls.
