The HAAS® system allows you to use two ascenders for quick, efficient ascents in a doubled rope system and even faster ascents when utilizing an SRT system.

This new design improves on the already ingenious HAAS® Ascent System by giving you an additional 18" of bungee in the system for a total of 30".

FEATURES:

• Double tube system allows 30" of in-line bungee to be contained within the unit for over 30" of elongation
• Versatile ascent system has zero set up and can be used by multiple users without adjustment
• Snap is tied just above the ascender, extracting out up to 30" to eliminate any set up as well as any "dead spots" in the return action
• Designed to maximize friction reduction with a bungee that terminates at the top of the Velox, travels down the channel to the bottom where it wraps around a shiv with stainless steel sealed bearings inside a machined aluminum block
• Bungee returns up a second channel where it is tied to a snap
• Bungee is replaceable in under five minutes with no tools

The Singing Tree Rope Wrench is a friction device that allows the climber to ascend, descend and work the tree "Single Rope" with a friction hitch.

 The ISC RP280 is the next step in the evolution of SRT work positioning. The sleeker design and rounded aluminum sideplates allow for less potential for damage to the climbers line and the set screw on the back pin allows for quick changeover betweendesired tethers.

It works by using leverage to force the rope into an S shape and providing friction for a controlled descent. When engaged, the Rope Wrench acts much like a conventional descent device such as a Figure eight.

When not engaged, the Rope Wrench provides no interference with ascending the rope. This allows the climber to work an entire tree using Single Rope Technique. Tethers for wrench sold separately.

The new Rope Wrench with Squirrel Tether is manufactured from aluminium, which ensures that twist and flex in the Rope Wrench system, is minimal.  This means that the Rope Wrench remains in the optimal low friction position during ascent, (allowing the climber to achieve maximum climb efficiency), and ensures that the Wrench engages efficiently, as required during lateral movements and descent.

SKU# S190411-80

This revolutionary ascending and descending system is simple to use. Incoming rope falls easily through the device using the weight of the rope itself to take up slack. Climber can use the Lock Jack as a mechanical prusik and easily advance on the rope. Simply pull down on the wooden knob to release the prusik and decend. Device can be installed mid-line and features a swivel carabiner attachment.

The Lockjack can totally replace the friction hitches used on climbing lines. The Lockjack works as both an ascender and as a descender for self-belay in the doubled rope technique (DRT). The advantage of the Lockjack is that friction is applied to the rope with a smooth aluminum surface which causes less friction while climbing for an effortless advance, and a smoother more easily controlled descent.

Works with 7/16” or 1/2” rope with a simple part change of the clutch (both clutch sizes are included.) Use with a small D or Oval carabiner only. A larger carabiner may allow the wooden ball to pass through and become stuck, resulting in free fall.

Since its inception in 2005, the Unicender has been the most flexible tool for tree climbing. With the ability to be used in both Doubled Rope Technique (DdRT) and Single Rope Technique (SRT), the Unicender fits the way you like to climb like no other tool.

The Unicender utilizes unique friction plates that allow it to advance easily with minimal friction, and virtually no “Sit Back,” giving you the most efficiency per stride. Descending is just as easy: by looping the rope around the plates in SRT as shown below. Additionally, the Unicender attaches conveniently mid-line. For rope sizes 11 to 13mm, or 7/16” to 1/2”.

The new ISC Squirrel Tether is manufactured from Aluminium, which ensures that twist and flex in the Rope Wrench system, is minimal. This means that the Rope Wrench remains in the optimal low friction position during ascent, (allowing the climber to achieve maximum climb efficiency), and ensures that the Wrench engages efficiently, as required during lateral movements and descent.

The Squirrel Tether can be used with an SRT Chest Harness, for hands-free tending of the system, while ascending. The Squirrel offers a choice of four SRT Chest Harness attachment points, allowing users to position their harness, according to the type of chest harness used- and to their personal preference.

The secondary aperture of the Squirrel Pulley provides an attachment point for the addition of a secondary system, which means that the Squirrel system can be used for rescues.

The Squirrel can be used with the 11-13mm Rope Wrench (RP280) and /or the new 13mm-optimized Rope Wrench (RP283).

This new version of the fall protection pulleySAVER from Teufelberger retains most of the original design except with an added acccesory called the equaLIZA. The equaLIZA is to be used as an equalizing link if the pulleySAVER is used on two anchorage points.

The climbing rope moves along the pulleySAVER extremely easily on the PINTO pulley while the resilient eye which facilitates the retrieval of the pulleySAVER easily returns into its original position even after a thousand cycles.

The attachment as anchor point on a tree can be implemented in four different configurations, depending on the specific application: as swinging element in a double leg configuration, as choke hitch, wound around in a double leg configuration, or narrowed in a double leg configuration.
