Choosing a Rock Climbing Wall Auto Belay
Cable or Webbing?
Cable or Webbing?Cable-based systems can cause damage to climbing walls if the cable contacts the wall. Webbing-based systems, like the TRUBLUE, will not damage walls. Plus, climbers prefer webbing due to its more natural feel. In the case of the TRUBLUE auto belay, the webbing can be easily replaced in the field.
Maintenance and Servicing
The price of an auto belay is only a piece of the overall cost of owning the unit. Maintenance requirements and servicing costs can vary greatly by product. Cable replacement in cable-based systems is expensive, and costs for site visits by servicing technicians for stationary/fixed auto belays can be high as well.
