Air Force 3
The Beal Air Force 3 is a guide belay plate best suited for use with half and twin ropes (but can also be used with single ropes). V-grooves create extra friction to improve rope braking, particularly with thinner ropes. The Beal Air Force 3 also includes a small insert hole which, when a carabiner is clipped through it, can release the tension on the ropes when used in guide mode.
Summary:
• Reduces abrasion to the rope.
• Braking force adapts to the rope diameter.
• Compatible with rope diameters from 7.3 mm to 10.5 mm.
• The wide, straight grooves offer edge-free running of the rope.
• Weight: 93 g
