The Reverso is a new device for belaying the leader or the second, on either single or double dynamic rope. Designed for multi-pitch climbs on rock or ice, the Reverso is different from traditional slot belay devices because you can attach it directly to the anchor and belay in autolocking mode. In this way, one or two seconds can be belayed independently. It can also be used for rappeling.

revcerso belay devise
I really like this piece of gear. Easy to
use, versatile and bombproof.
Bomber all Round
Practicality and
usability combine to make this tool an absolute necessity on any multi-pitch
climb - ease of use also extends to doing laps in the gym. Fantastic all-round.
nice device
I've used this now for ice climbing and canyoneering. On the ice,
I used it primarily for belaying, and this always works great, no matter how wet
the rope is or how frozen it is. In the canyons I used it primarily for rapping,
and this was on 9mm double rope, which the reverso is great for. It took me a
while to figure out a smooth method of getting it on and off the rope without
risking it falling off a 200' high cliff. The trick is rotating the device 90
degrees while taking on/off - it's all about opening the biner to insert or
remove the sope, while quickly closing the biner still on the device. With
little maneuvering room and often cold, wet hands, even with gloves on, a slip
might mean your device is gone. I love it. Simple. Effective.
silky
smooth but clanky like a cow
This thing feeds cord like water. The belays are
super smooth as are the rappels. I love that you can belay two seconds with this
device and it will automatically lock on one or both of the ropes. Two things I
don't like about it are it's bulk (compared to an ATC for example) and the
*clang clang clang* ruckus it makes when clipped to your belay loop while you
are climbing. I prefer to use it on long trad routes in parties of three or
greater, but for anything else I still haven't found a replacement for the ATC.
