The DMM Ceros is designed to make belaying as straightforward as possible. It features an internal wire gate to keep the Ceros pointing in the right direction when clipped through your belay loop - this functions to prevent cross-loading when belaying. An extruded horn poking out from the top of the biner (taken from the DMM Rhino) prevents assisted breaking devices from moving toward the carabiner's spine.
Fully designed with belaying in mind, the Ceros maintains the safest and most ergonomic position for belaying comfortably.
