## Overview

The Trango Vergo Belay Device is a compact, ergonomic, and lightweight aluminum climbing tool designed for smooth assisted-braking without the need for override. Featuring horizontal feeding for efficient slack management and clear safety indicators, it offers fool-proof operation trusted by climbers worldwide since 1991. At 8.8 ounces and a sleek 9x11x2 inch profile, it balances portability with robust performance, making it a top choice for lead climbing and rappelling.

## Description

The Vergo emphasizes ergonomics and human-device interaction to deliver exceptionally safe performance. Clear physical and visual indicators reaffirm correct usage, and the geometry reduces the likelihood of misuse. There is never a need to override the device, even when feeding slack for a clip. Smooth feeding and lowering complete the experience.

Review: Trango Vergo - Best belay device for lead climbing in my humble opinion. It pays out slack very smoothly while no overriding of the belay mechanism is needed at all so it is very safe while paying out slack. I was a bit worried about the ability to take slack in but this turns out to run surprisingly swift and easy. The reason is that the rope only needs to pass a mostly straight path through the belay device. Finding the correct position with the belay hand again is possible blindly. I like the fact that the mechanism is very simple yet very effective. It is basically two rotating plates so there is not much which needs maintenance. Lowering needs a bit more sensitivity compared to other belay devices, though. However, even if the lever would be fully opened, there is still considerable amount of friction at both ends of the belay device; not sufficient to hold someone, though, of course! Overall, the "open position friction" is still less than in other half automatic belay devices.
Review: Great belay/braking device - I use this device for rappeling when saddle hunting from trees. I use it with an 8mm Samson rope and it brakes perfectly. I also use a CT Climbing quick roll ascender with this rope and again that device also grabs and holds perfectly on this 8mm rope. Lastly, I use a blue water 7mm VT Eye to Eye prusik with a knut hitch. I had to add a 5th loop to the knut to get it to grab well and not bind up on the 8mm rope and once I added that 5th loop to the prusik it also worked perfectly as a back up to the vergo (always a good idea to back up your mechanicals, just in case). This is not the smallest brake/belay device but it is very smooth and is a great price.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Safe, Easy, Quality
*by C***T on May 7, 2025*

Slight learning curve, feeding slack one handed is easy. Taking slack is easy once used to the motion. Super safe, takes my climber immediately upon surprise falls. Lever system is easy to use and lower with. Actually prefer this over the grigri after getting used to it.
