Disadvantages
What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Simply put the Ohm makes the climber artificially lighter by introducing friction into the system when they fall so less upward force is felt by the belay and they don't get pulled up to the first clip.
2 improvements are: It could be made clearer which side should face out/up. There are markings but I don't like having to check closely while im clipping. It should be made more obvious. I also think they could improve the design so it is slightly less grabby when you pull rope through quickly.

You have to be really calm during the lead beacuse if you pull the rope fast to clip, the rope it will get stuck, similar to a bad belayer.
Its not the belayr fault, its how the system work. Well,if you are pulling the slow, maybe its the belayer fault.
