Petzl Reverso is a versatile, very lightweight belay and rappel device for sport climbing, multi-pitch routes and alpine climbs. It allows you to belay the leader, rappel on one or two rope strands and, in Reverso mode, bring up one or two seconds directly from the anchor – one device that covers most rope scenarios from cragging to big mountain days.
The V-shaped, grooved friction slots provide smooth, well-controlled braking, while the rounded rope path helps limit wear on both device and rope. Clear diagrams make rope installation intuitive and the handling follows classic tube-style belaying with one hand always on the brake strand. At only 57 g and compatible with a wide range of single, half and twin ropes, the Reverso is a compact all-rounder that stays light on your harness yet gives you extra control at the belay and on descents.
