Metolius Upshot Belay Glasses – Climbing Glasses for Safe Belaying

The Metolius Upshot Belay Glasses are special climbing glasses that allow the belayer to keep an eye on their partner without twisting their neck. Thanks to integrated prism optics, the viewing angle is directed upward, significantly reducing strain on the cervical spine.

• Integrated prisms enable a natural head position while belaying – neck pain becomes a thing of the past.
• Weighing only 45 g, they are extremely lightweight and can be worn discreetly on the helmet or harness.
• Developed specifically for mountaineering and climbing use.
• Designed to fit comfortably under a helmet.

What sets the Upshot Belay Glasses apart

Unlike traditional belaying methods where the head must constantly be tilted back, the Upshot Belay Glasses allow an upright, relaxed posture. The belayer can keep the climber in sight at all times without straining the neck muscles. This is especially beneficial during long climbing days or multi-pitch routes.

Ideal for...

These glasses are aimed at ambitious climbers and mountaineers who belay for several hours a day. They are also useful for climbing instructors and trainers who supervise students over extended periods.

How to use the Upshot Belay Glasses

The glasses are worn like regular glasses – either directly on the nose or under a helmet. Thanks to the flexible temple and lightweight frame, they do not interfere with climbing. Simply put them on, belay your partner, and enjoy a natural head position.
