The Most Advanced Escape Descent Control Device Available
UL Classified to NFPA 1983 - Escape
The Escape Artist offers what most other escape devices do not -- a hands-free edge transition and a controllable descent. The Escape Artist lays out the rope smoothly and then locks when loaded, allowing both hands to be used to negotiate the exit. Squeezing the lever gives the use control of the descent rate. Intended for the most extreme conditions, the Escape Artist's all metal construction and minimum number of parts provides durability and reliable performance. The Escape Artist is intended to be pre-rigged on the escape line, and kept ready for immediate use.
Escape Artist features:
- Patented auto-locking allows hands-free edge transitions
- Variable friction allows user to control rate of descent
- Works equally well with or without gloves of any type
- Constructed or aluminum and stainless steel
- Compact and lightweight - only 5 oz.
- Fits escape lines from 7.5 to 9.0mm in diameter

* The NFPA 1983 (2006) minimum breaking strength is determined by rigging the descent control device in the manner of use, then locking off. For all CMC Rescue descenders, the failure mode was the rope, not the device being tested.
