Belay Longer. Stay Comfortable.

The YY Vertical Classic Belay Glasses are the original, best-selling belay glasses designed to make belaying safer and more comfortable.

Using a prism system, they allow you to look straight ahead while still seeing your climber above-eliminating the need to constantly crane your neck.

Flexible and adaptable to all face shapes, they're ideal for long belay sessions, helping reduce fatigue and improve focus whether you're sport climbing or top roping.
