It’s finally happening — the long-awaited from Rock Exotica is officially available for preorder, and we couldn’t be more excited to get this revolutionary climbing device into your hands.

At WesSpur, we’ve been anticipating this launch right along with the climbing community. The original Akimbo made waves with its innovative design, and the new Akimbo² builds on that legacy with smarter features, better performance, and more versatility — all while staying compact and reliable for pro-level climbers.

So, what’s new? The Akimbo² brings several thoughtful improvements:

  • No more “approved ropes” list — this model works with ropes from 11.5 mm to 12.7 mm, and includes tool-free friction adjustment so you can dial it in exactly how you like.
  • Smoother climbing thanks to an all-new tending point for SRS setups.
  • Improved feel on the rope — the internal components have been refined to give better control and handling whether you're ascending or descending.
  • Replaceable parts mean you can extend the working life of your Akimbo² instead of retiring it early.

Like the original, this device is designed to attach mid-line, and it works seamlessly with both stationary and moving rope systems (SRS & MRS). That means more flexibility and less fumbling with extra gear while you climb.

Of course, it’s still a highly specialized piece of equipment, made for experienced arborists who are comfortable working with mechanical devices. If that’s you — and you’ve been waiting for the next evolution of the Akimbo — now’s your chance.

We’re proud to offer the Akimbo², made right here in the USA by Rock Exotica, and we can’t wait to start shipping these out to our customers.

and be among the first to climb with this incredible new tool.
