A multi purpose backfeed preventer for lead rope soloing. This device clamps the rope and blocks against a karabiner to create one-directional feed prevention.
The Pinch-Cinch is useful for a variety of scenarios where you want to add backfeed prevention to a standard rope clipping karabiner, but don't have a cincher pre-installed on that krab. Or, you only want single-direction feed prevention. Having one or two on your LRS rack will prove handy on many pitches!
Best uses:
Trad Placements - tension the rope against backfeeding, but the gear is not pulled upwards in the case of a fall.
Permadraws - add backfeed prevention as you climb past, without needing a pre-installed Soft Cinch on that fixed draw karabiner.
Anchor Tensioning - Tension your LRS anchor upwards easily with one hand while climbing. Specifically for absorber anchors with lots of rope movement, the rope does not slide through the rubber, so it won't wear out as fast as our other cinching devices.
- Great for backfeed prevention on nuts or cams where you want to avoid upward pulls in the case of a fall.
- Designed to block against the body of a karbiner to add backfeed prevention without needing to be installed on the krab itself.
- Basically a super tech clothespeg, with a variety of fun uses. Tarp clamp for an El Cap sun shade while waiting for good conditions? Rope blocker to add friction to the brake strand of your GriGri? On route clothespeg for your sweaty sun shirt?
