More details

Exceptional control for guide plate belaying.

The Pivot belay device delivers confident belaying and effective stopping power whether used in guide mode, or belaying from the waist.

Guide plates have traditionally been difficult to operate when lowering seconds. The Pivot's shackle reduces the force needed to initiate lowering, increasing control of the speed at which you lower your second.

FEATURES

Belay device gives controlled belaying, lowering and abseiling

This device increases rope control when belaying, lowering a partner and abseiling. It is a fundamental part of a climbers rack.

Pivot enables guide mode and gives easily controlled lowering of two seconds

The pivoting shackle moves the point of leverage when initiating lowering of your second. This vastly reduces the force needed to initiate and control lowering of one or two seconds, making guide mode more user friendly.

High performance internal geometry gives greater rope control

Hot forging and CNC technology is used to shape the internal structure of the device to give greater control over a wide range of ropes. This is especially evident when using modern, small diameter ropes.

Two friction modes for varying applications

In its standard orientation, this device gives confident control over a wide variety of rope diameters. It can also be flipped 180° for smooth abseiling on thick or low stretch ropes.

Good device but horrible colors

I use this device a lot and it does the job. But honestly, I’m tired of orange and black climbing equipment. Where’s the bright pink? Even just plain silver is better than these. Bring back the pink!!

Compact and well thought out

Love my pivot, it's the perfect device for trad as it's lightweight and compact. Grips a variety of rope sizes really nicely, works like a dream both in lead belaying, guide mode and top roping. My only gripe with it is it could be more durable, i've gone through 3 very quickly. If a stainless steel/ more durable but slightly heavier one was produced, i'd definitely buy it for more use indoors and abseiling. But given how nice it is to use, when this one runs it's course i'll probably buy another regardless.

Dependable

I have other belay plates but find myself using my DMM pivot in almost every instance, it handles all ropes (within the designed range) excellently and allows for really smooth lead belaying. Solidly built and so far has stood up to plenty of abuse.

Top tier belay plate

I love the Pivot belay plate. It's light weight and adaptable to many situations. Mine often gets used for ascending ropes when photographing climbers and gets used in every other aspect of rope work for my climbing. It's my go to belay plate and never leaves my harness.

Awesome

I've used the pivot for ages, to the point where I've bought a second one to use with clients. Innovative product which took the next step in belay devices.
