Miniature motors help bring greater safety to climbing
In climbing, the role of the belayer is critical: he literally has the life of the climber in his hands. It’s not just in sports, either, with professional climbers also working on power lines or the facades of high-rise buildings. But now a fledgling company from Munich has brought the world’s first automatic belayer onto the market, called EPIC. With this device the climber can safely climb without a second person. Faulhaber motors, available in the UK from EMS provide a secure grip and a taut rope.
