Why Upgrade Your Belay Device?
If you’ve ever short-roped a leader on Manalmon’s overhangs, you know the pain of a device that locks the moment your climber yells “Slack! ”The Climbing Technology CLICK UP+ promises faster rope payout and a patented V-Proof System that reduces belayer error—critical on humid Philippine crags where sweaty ropes misbehave.
First Impressions
Right out of the box, the CLICK UP + feels lighter than a chalk bag. Hot-forged side plates channel rope smoothly, while the bundled CONCEPT SGL HC carabiner prevents minor-axis loading. The device ships in two colors—orange and light blue—but I chose orange for visibility during evening top-rope sessions.
Safety Highlights
-
V‑Proof System automatically compensates when the belayer narrows the V‑angle—reducing the chance of a failed lock during panic.
-
Device still locks when loaded backwards thanks to V‑shaped friction notches, acting as a fail‑safe for beginners.
Durability & Maintenance
The CLICK UP + carries EN 15151‑2:2012 Type 2 certification and shows minimal wear after 20 belays. Rinse sea-spray salt weekly and dry under shade—UV-aged plastic weakens quicker than you think in Palawan sunshine.
Who Should Buy the CLICK UP +?
-
Gym climbers wanting a single device for lead and top‑rope.
-
Outdoor guides who supervise novices—the V‑Proof partition forgives sloppy belay angles.
-
Traveling sport climbers packing ultralight; at 110 g it undercuts the GriGri +.
