The Slow Go pulley is a friction based pulley that assists the belayer in controlling the climber, particularly when lowering. This assistance is caused by a double wrap of the rope and a larger surface that the rope wraps around. The DMM Bug is a tube like device that does not auto-lock, this has replaced the Grigri. We have taken these steps to further increase the safety of our gym as we continue to expand. The combination of the Slow Go and the DMM Bug is widely used in Australia and significantly simplifies the belaying process without hindering the experience.

This change has a few implications for our new and returning climbers, which we are attempting to manage as smoothly as possible, these are:

1. Everyone is required to complete a new waiver when they visit Urban Climb if they have not visited since the change took place (23.01.12). This is because we will be issuing you with a new card and new barcode.
2. All climbers regardless of experience will need to go through a short demo. If you have been to Urban Climb before this could be very brief as the process is the same. However we must ensure you are competent on the new belay device. New climbers will need to receive a demo as normal.
3. Please be patient with us whilst we manage this change, if you can complete a waiver in advance it will significantly speed the process. Similarly if you can visit during off peak hours (returning climbers only) it will enable us to re-demo you quickly.
4. If you are under 18, you must have your parent sign a new waiver on your behalf. Please bring a completed waiver with you.

Thank you all for assisting us with this transition, it will be a significant improvement once complete.
