Our subject : Belaying in climbing, observation postures
Joint pain & muscle aches
Belaying with poor posture (while watching), such as slouching, locking the knees, or overextending the neck, can lead to joint pain and muscle aches. These bad habits put excessive strain on the shoulders, lower back, and knees, increasing discomfort and fatigue.
Focus & visual comfort
Staying focused and comfortable while belaying is crucial for safety, reducing strain, and ensuring quick, accurate responses to the climber’s movements.
Isolate the person belaying the climber
Provide comfort in terms of brightness linked to outdoor practice

“Low-tech” product
Long-lasting comfort
How to provide comfort, safety, and versatility for climbing through optical products ?
SidePeak is an optical device inspired by current technologies, integrating a low-tech and
eco-responsible approach, ensuring positional comfort when belaying and climbing.
Size : 170 x 210 x 46 mm
The geometry and curves of the object make it possible to isolate the climber belayer, in order to focus and practice better. However, its shape allows the rope and harness to be seen so the belayer remain conscious of his situation.
