Mini Traxion Self-Ratcheting Pully
from Petzl
SAVE 13%
(A precious and effective secret weapon!)

Sale Price: $48
Regular Price: $55

A pulley with self-lubricating bushings and a rope clamp/grab "all-in-one". A new concept in pulleys with an anti-return feature. A Mini Traxion can be used for sack-hauling, but they can also be used for the attachment of a person. You will appreciate it for setting up hauling systems, for back-up belaying and for moving along a tyrolean traverse, where the cam operates as an anti-return device.

Lightweight Figure 8's
from Clog/Wild Country
SAVE 20%
(Special Deal - While Supplies Last!)

Clog figure 8 decenders are probably the strongest descending devices made. Hot forged from 6082 T6 high strength aluminium, their design maximizes surface area for heat dissipation. Both descenders are available in natural or black anodized for protection against corrosion. Ideal for all-round use on crag or mountain, the Clog lightweight figure of 8 has not sacrificed heat dissipation and durability, inorder to produce an ultralight device.

Ropeman Ascender
from Wild Country
SAVE 20%

(It's Ropeman to the Rescue!)

This tiny device has transformed the climbing world's perception of rope ascenders. The Ropeman performs brilliantly in so many situations, we can only describe some of them here. When combined with a pulley and suitable carabiners, the Ropeman can be used for crevasse rescue and haul bag systems, rope access workers use them as a backup in their safety systems... There can be no argument the Ropeman is the lightest, most compact ascender available. It even outperforms bigger ascenders on muddy or iced up ropes. We are sure that you will find the Ropeman will become an essential piece of gear you will take on every mountain adventure.

Sale Price: $22
Regular Price: $27.50

Ropeman MKII 'Gold' Ascender
from Wild Country
SAVE 17%

Ropeman MKII 'Silver' Ascender
from Wild Country
SAVE 17%

(It's Ropeman to the Rescue!)

Ropeman 'Gold' or 'Silver' Ascender from Wild Country

Sale Price: $27
Regular Price: $32.50

The Ropeman has become an essential piece of gear to take on every mountain adventure and is increasingly being used for big wall routes, industrial rope access and rescue situations. Because these intensive activities make greater demands on durability Wild Country has designed a second generation cam. The Ropeman Mark II had to remain compact and lightweight, however durability and an ability to function on a broader range of rope diameters became important. WC's new stainless steel cam fitted perfectly into the design brief. The use of investment casting has kept the low weight and compactness but has allowed WC to replace the ridges of the alloy cam with conical pins. This allows the Ropeman MK II to function on smaller diameter ropes and has long term durability. Revisions to the side plates and the addition of integral cam stops prevents over rotation in pulley systems and two color ways ease identification in multi-rope systems.
