Upshot Belay Glasses

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I didn’t think I needed belay glasses until I used these. Game changer. The prism angle is perfect, and the high-cut frame doesn’t block my peripheral vision. Now I can watch my climber without craning my neck—and still keep an eye on my surroundings."

Designed to reduce strain during long belay sessions, the Metolius Upshot Belay Glasses let us keep our eyes on the climber without wrenching our necks. The high-quality prism design gives a clear, stable view of the action above, while the raised frame profile keeps our side vision open.

Whether we’re catching our partner on a long project or guiding a group at the gym, the Upshot makes belaying more comfortable and focused. With a durable frame, included storage case, and easy fit over prescription glasses, they’re a lightweight solution that pays off pitch after pitch.
