## Summary description

Edelrid OHM Steel is a steel-built friction aid designed to increase braking force on dynamic climbing ropes from 8.9 mm diameter. The device modifies belay friction to reduce impact forces and improve control during lead falls, and is suitable for sport and trad climbing. Compact and durable, it attaches to a belay device to fine-tune rope handling.

## Long description

Edelrid OHM Steel is a compact, steel-built assisted-friction aid designed for single dynamic climbing ropes with diameters from 8.9 to 11.0 mm. It increases the braking effect when attached to the first bolt in the anchor chain, reducing impact forces on the belayer and improving control during heavy lead falls and lowering. The second-generation OHM features a swivel joint on the assisted-braking resistor and an improved locking system to simplify rope insertion, removal during lowering, and to allow free movement regardless of clipping direction.
Advantages
The steel construction provides durable, consistent friction behaviour and a stable braking effect across compatible rope diameters. The swivel joint increases freedom of movement so the device’s orientation at the first bolt does not affect performance. An integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental opening and eases handling when setting up or lowering a climber. Overall, the device reduces forces transmitted to the belayer and makes controlled lowering of a heavier climber significantly easier.
Suitable for
Sport climbing where lead falls are possible
Traditional (trad) climbing routes with lead belays
Belayers who want reduced impact forces and easier lowering control
Single ropes with diameters between 8.9 mm and 11.0 mm
When it may not be suitable
The OHM Steel is not intended for use with twin or half-rope systems or ropes outside the specified diameter range. It is also not a substitute for proper belay technique or for situations requiring specialized self-locking devices; users must still follow standard safety procedures and manufacturer instructions.
Key specifications
Compatible rope diameter: 8.9–11.0 mm (single ropes)
Material: steel construction for the friction element
Functional role: assisted-friction/resistor to increase braking force
Attachment position: designed to be clipped at the first bolt in the anchor chain
Minimum belayer weight: suitable for belayers from approximately 40 kg and above
How to use
Attach the OHM Steel to the first bolt in the safety chain using an appropriate locking carabiner and connect your belay device as specified by the belay device manufacturer. Ensure the assisted-braking resistor is free to swivel so it can orient during movement. When leading, the device increases braking during a fall without adding additional friction while paying out rope. Use the locking system to prevent accidental opening and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for correct rope routing and secure attachment before climbing.
What to consider before purchase
Check that your climbing rope diameter is within 8.9–11.0 mm
Confirm compatibility with your belay device and that you can attach the OHM at the first bolt in your anchor chain
Assess belayer weight — device functions effectively for belayers from about 40 kg upward
Usage recommendations
Use the Edelrid OHM Steel only as part of a complete belay system: inspect rope and connectors before each use, practice correct clipping and lowering technique, and follow the device and belay device manufacturers’ instructions to ensure safe operation.
