The Vergo Belay Device by Trango

it's too bad that when pulling on the handle too hard it doesn't lock up like the newest devices in this category :(

Thanks for making this video Adam. And thanks for the sample to demo!

left-handed people is screwed , huh?

"1st for performance, 2nd for safety". Mm....? Safety comes FIRST, ALWAYS!

Safety second LOLOLOL, who the hell came up with this marketing strategy?!

I'd like to see the climber take a fall and watch how well the brake assist works !! That's what's important to me !

The rope around the neck is a violation of safety regulations. Thank God that he is still alive ...)))

I wish it was as easy as he showed to give rope out when you have your climber short roped or their is no slack in the system. Its near impossible to do it as he does, even if you have a little slack. If you short rope a panicked climber with this good luck getting them any rope without them fully releasing everything they have pulled up!

He never blinks!

So, WHEN is it back to the market?

Is this device also used for top roping?

looks like a really interesting device. onto the list it goes!

Cinch better

Music is too loud and distracting.

background music is distracting garbage.

does it work well for left handed belayer ?

If I were going to put a backup above the Virgo (using a 30” eye to eye; tied in a knut fashion) with the two eyes looped through the carabiner that the Virgo was, could I use any gated carabiner, or should I use an oval carabiner only?
