Petzl Reverso 4




This multi-purpose belay/rappel device is ultra-light (59 g, 25 % lighter than the REVERSO 3) and intuitive to use. V-shaped friction channels with asymmetrical lateral grooves adapt the friction to the type of rope for better control (ARC technology: braking control for twin, half and single dynamic ropes). Reverso mode for belaying one or two seconds with assisted braking.
  • Ultra-light design:
    - minimalist construction
    - hot-forged aluminum
    - Weight: 59 g

  • A single device for all rope types:
    - effective braking on half and twin ropes ≥ 7.5 mm
    - effective braking on single ropes ≥ 8.9 mm
    - can belay the leader, one or two seconding climbers and can be used for rappelling
    - independent and simultaneous belaying of one or two seconding climbers in Reverso mode
    - quick changeovers from Reverso mode to belaying the leader when climbing multi-pitch routes

  • V-shaped friction channels:
    - increased friction on thin ropes
    - friction is adapted for larger diameter ropes
    - increases the locking pressure on the ropes in Reverso mode

  • Asymmetrically grooved sidewalls:
    - increased braking power during a leader or top rope fall or while rappelling
    - rope slides smoothly through device when taking up slack

  • Carabiner hole allows the loaded device in Reverso mode to be easily and gradually released with only a carabiner

  • Rope friendly, allows for smooth belaying and rope handling:
    - will not kink the ropes regardless of the mode used
    - separates the two strands of rope when belaying and rappelling

  • Intuitive use:
    - Reverso mode aluminum attachment point is easy to identify
    - keeper cable keeps the device from moving up the rope when belaying and reduces chances of losing the device
    - usage diagrams (standard belay and Reverso modes) engraved on device

  • Use with symmetrical locking carabiners (Am'D or WILLIAM) to maximize efficiency
