TRANGO Aries Belay Device – Guide Mode, 7.5-11mm Rope, 7075 Aluminum, Blue

TRANGO Aries Belay Device: Guide Mode for Versatile Rope Work

The Aries belay device is designed to help climbers manage rope work with confidence on both single pitches and longer alpine routes. Built with hot forged 7075 aluminum, it balances durability and light weight, weighing about 90 g so you can stay agile on the rock without excess bulk on your harness.

Dual V Channels offer controlled braking and consistent rope handling, giving you a dependable feel whether you are lowering a partner or catching a fall. The blue body adds visibility on crowded racks, making it easier to locate in low light or when packed with other gear.

Guide Mode for direct belay

When belaying from an anchor, guide mode lets you belay directly from the top point. This setup is particularly useful for multi-pitch routes, bringing up seconds, or alpine objectives where anchor based belays are common. The device remains easy to configure as you move between rope configurations.

Durable, lightweight construction

With a 7075 aluminum body and a weight around 90 g, the Aries offers a durable profile without dragging on your hips. The material provides strength and stiffness for long days at the crag or on glacier approaches.

Rope compatibility and versatility

Designed to work with ropes from 7.5 mm to 11 mm, the Aries accommodates single ropes, half ropes, and twin rope techniques. This broad compatibility supports a wide range of climbing styles from sport to trad and ice or alpine routes where rope options vary by season and route.
