TRANGO Aries Belay Device with Guide Mode | 7.5–11mm Rope | 7075 Aluminum

A guide-mode belay device built for climbers

The Aries from TRANGO reimagines how a belay device feels on belays and at anchor points. Built from hot-forged 7075 aluminum, it balances rugged durability with a light touch on the harness, tipping the scale at about 90 g. This lightweight chassis is designed to stay on your harness through long days of rock routes, alpine traverses, or mixed terrain.

What makes it perform

• Dual V Channels deliver controlled braking and precise rope management during lowering or catching a fall
• Guide mode enables direct belay from anchors, ideal for bringing up seconds on multi-pitch routes
• Rugged 7075 aluminum construction provides long-term durability without adding bulk
• Rope compatibility from 7.5 mm to 11 mm covers single, half, and twin rope techniques
• Carefully engineered by climbers for climbers, with attention to real-world use on difficult terrain

In the box and on the wall

• Includes Regulock HMS Autolock carabiner for a smooth belay setup
• Designed to perform in sport, trad, ice, and alpine contexts

Real-world use: imagine belaying a partner on a long alpine ridge, or directing a second climber from an anchor during a multi-pitch ascent. The Aries aims to offer reliable rope control, crisp handling, and a straightforward workflow so you can stay focused on your line. While not a guarantee of results, the combination of features can translate into more predictable belay performances when paired with proper technique and practice.

Smart design for climbers

The Aries is designed to minimize bulk on your harness while retaining strength where it matters. The 90 g mass is a comfortable companion for long days on rock, ice, or alpine routes. The device works with a range of rope types and diameters, enabling flexible setups in changing conditions.
