The Click Up Plus improves on the original version, with better ergonomics and geometry which allows for quicker and smoother paying out of the rope and more comfortable top rope belays. 

 

As with the original, the Plus can arrest a fall with only the free end of the rope being held with the braking hand. When the fall has been caught, slight pressure on the device allows lowering.

 

The new version of this device has polarised users - some like it more because it activates more quickly and so locks up more easily. Thus it can be perceived as being safer than the original in certain circumstances; however experienced users feel that it is now too sensitive for belaying a leader. We would tend to agree; a great tool for top trope belaying, but needs a bit of practice to belay a leader effectively.

 

The Click Up Plus is supplied and must be used with the specific HMS carabiner Concept SGL HC. This carabiner features wear resistant anodizing and ACL system that prevents the possibility of minor-axis cross loading.
