Mega Jul

Edelrid's Jul family is The Way. Jul 2 is single strand, and shares geometry with the dual strand Mega Jul. These tend to give the best lockup with most ropes, but it depends a lot on the carabiner, too. Skinnier biner stock tends to lock up tighter, but I get good results with an Edelrid Bulletproo

Edelrid Bruce for the mega jul 2, any small offset D for the Grigri. You do not want to use an HMS. Petzl suggests the sm'd

My MegaJul does that too. 🤷 I guess if I start having material missing from my carabiner I'll replace it. For now I think it's just street cred. 😂 I do think my MegaJul behaves better with an Edelrid Bulletproof carabiner. It's not critical though.

Is there any reason not to use a carabiner in the nose of the Mega Jul as a lever when rappelling? Using the handle is honestly a shit show on longer raps, and I do know it's possible to use it as an atc with the 3rd hand, but rly the carabiner lever method seems the best technique in terms of less

I also don't know of any ABDs which can feed 2 strands, would be sincerely curious if you could name any. The Edelrid mega jul and giga jul do everything a regular tube does, and they're also assisted.

i agree in principle but with a few caveats. in recent years the grigri has become sort of the defacto standard in a lot of places, and you may find that potential partners are more comfortable being belayed on grigri, especially by a newer belayer. many gyms require it. on a personal note i wouldnt

Edelrid recently updated their Mega Jul. I'd love to try it out, but since I have a Giga Jul (which is shit if you don't use the exact right rope) and a Grigri (I don't like it, but it's workable), I don't actually need a new device.

Climbing: For indoor, you really just need your shoes, helmet and chalk bag, maybe a belay device depending on your gym. Maybe a 40 m rope for lead climbing. Get a bag/tarp to go with it if you do. Outdoor, in my region, everyone adds a helmet at a minimum. If you're only ever climbing with more exp

Hey there everyone, has anyone else had any issues or incidents with an Edelrid Mega Jul Belay Device? While my professional climbing friend, “who is a coach and manager at a climbing gym,” was belaying me, I took a fall and the belay device failed. I won’t get into every detail but I will show a pi

Personlly I love the Edelrid Giga Jul of that can fir yout budget, but for sport climbing before I used Mega Jul. Giga can do more when it comes to multi-pitch thats all. I found the MegaJul a great an easy device to be used
