belay device

A mechanical device used to create friction when belaying by putting bends in the rope. Many different types of belay devices exist, including ATCs, grigris, Reversos, Sticht plates, eights, and tubers. Some belay devices may also be used as a descender. A Munter hitch can sometimes be used instead of a belay device.
