Mechanical Friction Devices
A selection of modern mechanical devices to replace or augment friction hitches, including the Rope Wrench, Hitch Hiker, Spider Jack, Unicender, Zigzag and more.
The Rope Wrench takes some of the pressure off of your friction hitch allowing you to climb single rope on your prussik cord. A great invention for SRT climbing. Works best with a Stiffy Tether.
The RopeTek Hitch Hiker is a great device for Hybrid climbing systems, and improves climbing in both single rope and doubled rope climbing systems.
Unicender
The Unicender makes ascending and descending smooth, easily controlled, and precise. Travel up or down with equal ease and complete control
The Petzl Zigzag is a complete replacement for your prusik, slack tending pulley, and swivel in a doubled rope climbing system. Applies smooth and even friction, tends easily, and grants precision control during descents.
Lockjack & Spiderjack
Lockjacks and Spiderjacks work both as an ascender and descender to move up or down the line with the smoothest action and most control possible.
