Lockjack Sport
The Lockjack is the only piece of hardware on the market that 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 (DdRT). 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. While climbing, the Lockjack tends slack by itself as the weight of rope below the climber pulls the line through the device. Works with 1/2” rope. Designed for use with
Petzl Am'D (M21 and M18).
Spiderjack
The newest innovation from ART (Advanced Rope Techniques), in the doubled rope technique even easier. In addition, the Spiderjack also allows finer control over friction during descents, making tasks such as limb walking even easier by permitting the user to vary friction more subtly than before. Smooth friction surface. 1/2" rope capacity. Designed for use with
Petzl Am'D (M21 and M18).
