Lockjack Sport w/ Swivel
The Lockjack 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 7/16" or 1/2" rope with a simple part change of the clutch (both clutch sizes are included.) Use with a small D or Oval carabiner only. A larger carabiner may allow the wooden ball to pass through and become stuck, resulting in free fall.
