TRUBLUE iQ Auto Belays

Why install an auto belay?

Climbing with an auto belay eliminates the need for a partner, meaning that a climber simply needs to clip in and climb away, as opposed to waiting around for a friend to belay them. Not only will this attract more solo climbers, it means that beginners can get straight on the wall, instead of needing to learn the ropes. Auto belays are also a perfect training tool, allowing climbers to get more reps in than when leading or top roping.

Which auto belay is right for me?
