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.

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.

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 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

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

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.

It looks like this is a common issue. https://www.mountainproject.com/forum/topic/120169359/edelrid-mega-jul-cable-failure I don't understand how this failure can result in a fall though. The cable is not involved in holding the tension of the rope.
