DEF

Dispositif d'assurance en alliage léger, percé de deux ou plusieurs trous, permettant d'assurer le premier ou bien un ou deux seconds de cordée.

CONT

[Les] plaquettes d'assurage [...] permettent d'arrêter les grands vols en toute sécurité aussi bien pour celui qui tombe que pour l'assureur lui-même. Elles permettent un assurage dynamique très aisé. De plus les modèles munis d'un ressort facilitent le coulissement de la corde pour donner «le mou» au premier, ces plaquettes peuvent aussi être utilisées en fonction de descendeur.
