Unique a friend like device developed for soft sandstone. It is truly something and it works!! History of UFO is quite long and complicated. It started with a climber Marek Žák and finished with Vorel Obročník, who spent in the garage long time till he came up with a set of three finished UFO devices, which are first installment within this field and on top of it with CE and EN certification. Everyone can try it at Czech Mountain Festival in Teplice nad Metují. How it works? One picture says mote than thousand words: Here is UFO No 2: Here is UFO No 1: And finally the biggest UFO (in "open" position) No 3: Some technical details: It is tested and proved that, the smallest size No. 1 is good for a narrow hand jam crack, No. 2 = for medium size hand jam crack and No. 3 is suitable for fist crack. Prices: No. 1 is 600,- Kč, (24,- Euroes). No. 2 is 700,-Kč, (28,- Euroes). and the biggest No. 3 is 800,-CZK, (32,- Euroes). So the whole set is about 2100,-CZK (84,- Euroes). How it works? You can see it at Teplice Festival: Webpage of the producer http://www.obrworks.cz here you are a few videos showing crack climbing and one video showing the functionality of the device: RP ascent of „Big Baby“ 5.11 crack in Indian Creek, Utah (by Vorel) Using of the UFO protection device: Although the UFO allows you to use as an aid device it wasn't designed for that purpose. "A1" style is out of sandstone ethic.
