Tree Climbing Gadgets and Innovations

Sidekick Rope Retrieval Device

The Sidekick Rope Retrieval device is a handy tool designed to help advance the climbing line beyond the climber's reach. This device is constructed from lightweight plastic and aluminum and collapses to just over 2 feet and extends to 9 feet. A great time and frustration saver when you are in the tree.

(Do NOT look directly into the beam! It will cause eye damage.) Requires 2 AAA batteries which are included in case.

International customers please check the regulations governing laser devices in your country - this device may be illegal to import in some countries.

Grappling Hook

The grappling hook can be used just about any time you need to set a line from the ground. Whether as a quick aid for pulling trees over or pulling hangers out of the canopy, this is sure to be a useful tool. The articulating tangs can be retracted in order to prevent it from snagging inadvertently. The tangs are securely held in open or closed position with a screw down knob at the top. This product is not intended for use in setting a life line however because it does not provide a secure connection to the tree.

Compact Grappling Hook

A smaller more compact grappling hook than others, this grapple is designed to facilitate traverses between tree tops. By throwing the hook with a line attached into a nearby tree and then lowering it down until the hooks grab a branch below, a climber can set a line to pull him/herself over while letting out on another line connected to the first tree. This grapple can be carried by the ring on top so the tongs fold shut and do not hang up while climbing. Not for life support!
