The development of Climbing ropes has made significant progress over the last few years, with rope diameters becoming ever smaller and the strength and performance ever more impressive. In line with this trend we have developed the Bugette to compliment its bigger brother the Bug. If you are using ropes from 7.5 mm through to 9.5 mm this is the belay device for you. Weighing in at 0.9oz (26 g) the Bugette will handle these ropes with ease. The design offers sufficient friction for holding a fall and yet the smooth, radiused walls are kind on the rope and allow easy snag free paying out and taking in. The Bugette is Hot Forged from 6082 alloy and heat treated to the T6 condition.
Warning: Climbing is inherently dangerous. The equipment descriptions here are not meant to be an instructional booklet. Anyone using this gear is personally responsible for learning the proper techniques. All equipment specifications are the manufacturers. Climbing equipment is specifically designed for climbing only, has limitations, and must not be used for any other purposes. Improper use or misuse increases risk of injury, paralysis and death.
