We Went On A Weekend Course To Understand How Belaying Has Changed | Belay Masterclass

Belaying hasn’t fundamentally changed in decades — until now. In this episode of Climbing Daily, we head to the headquarters of Edelrid for a dedicated weekend masterclass to explore the OHMEGA — a new belay assistance device designed to improve rope management and reduce the risk of ground falls. Joined by six raffle prize winners and Edelrid athlete Siebe Van Hee, we dive into theory, practice, and real-world use cases — learning not just how the OHMEGA works, but why it exists. From controlled testing to hands-on belay scenarios, this is a closer look at how product design, education, and safer belaying come together.
