A light figure of 8 device for belaying & rappelling, with Cooling Technolgy perimeter holes to allow more airflow & therefore dissipate excess heat (and cut down weight). The smaller hole of the 2 x 8 Belayer can be used for thinner ropes, & the asymmetric curve shape offers different amounts of friction depending on which side is used: the convex side applies less friction while the concave side applies more.
