Product Description
Streamline Your SRT Climbing with the ISC RP280 Rope Wrench
The ISC RP280 Rope Wrench revolutionizes single rope technique (SRT) climbing by introducing a controlled friction system that transforms a static rope into a dynamic, double-rope-like setup. This innovation allows climbers to ascend and descend smoothly without altering equipment, enhancing efficiency and safety in tree climbing operations.
By creating an 'S' bend above the hitch cord, the Rope Wrench shares the climber's weight between the wrench and the hitch, reducing wear and tear on the hitch and facilitating easier movement. Its design minimizes slack, ensures consistent friction, and allows for simple redirects, making it an indispensable tool for modern arborists.
Key Features:
- Friction Management: Introduces controlled friction for smooth SRT climbing.
- Efficient Movement: Enables rapid ascent and descent with minimal slack.
- Versatile Setup: Compatible with various tethers and friction hitches.
- Compact Design: Lightweight and unobtrusive, weighing only 128 grams (4.5 oz).
- Durable Construction: Made from anodized aluminum with stainless steel rivets for longevity.
- Rope Compatibility: Suitable for ropes ranging from 11 to 13 mm (7/16" to 1/2") in diameter.
