Designed for ascending fixed single ropes from 8 to 13 mm.

• User-friendly handled rope clamp / grab :
  • ergonomically designed handle for maximum grip for the hand and to keep the handle aligned with the direction of pull,
  • body of the device in aluminum alloy for minimum weight,
  • elastomeric protective sleeve to improve grip and thermal insulation.
• High performance device:
  • toothed cam in chrome steel for optimal hold as well as optimal sliding up the rope, whatever the ropes condition,
  • self-cleaning slot in the cam for evacuation of obstructive material (mud, ice) coating the rope.
  • ergonomic notched spring-loaded nylon catch allows the cam to be held in the open position. Also allows installation onto, or removal from the rope with one hand.
• 2 lower holes for the attachment of a footloop using a maillon and for attachment of a lanyard.
• 2 upper holes allow a carabiner to be clipped around the rope: easier sliding up the rope when used for self-belaying, use in hauling systems.
• 2 colors for easy recognition of right-handed and left-handed versions.
