ALPINE UP (English) Revolutionary belay/rappel device from Climbing Technology

My favorite device. It has replaced all my other devices for every use. Love it.

I bought this device earlier this year and love it. It does has more options and I can be carried away but I think it is the best hardware I seen so far...

I have this device and it's great, it is the most versatile device I've ever seen! The only downside I could find is that you can't really use the click-up mode when top roping, cause it clicks up all the time if you wanna have someone tight (beginner), and it makes pulling in the rope much harder if you don't have a really thin rope so you have to use the dynamic mode for that. That means that you can't really give it to two beginners to belay each other while top roping like you can with a grigri. That being said, I don't like the grigri cause I think it teaches people lousy technique and not to pay enough attention to the climber. People that get use to it find it difficult to switch to a belay plate (ATC), like dynaimic mode on this device cause they don't really know what they are doing no matter how good of a (sport) climber they are...

I love my alpine up! ! It's great for project climbing a route. Gri gri's are nice but this is awesome it does take a bit to get use to as far as the locking position (lead climbing) but I love it. And it looks cool

Every few years a device like this is put to the market, but it never seems to be a big hit. I remember the TRE Sirius. It had most of the features of this device. However it never caught on. Maybe people prefer simpler devices, which are not so complicated to use. I like both my ATC Guide and my Petzl Reverso very much-they are both small, versatile and simple to use. I don't like using my friends TRE because every time I need to think what is the right way to use it.
