Description: New Genuine Rock Exotica Unicender Arboris DdRT Tool SRT Device RG50 or 33397 The Unicender by Rock Exotica is an all-in-one ascender/descender that works in both Moving and Stationary Rope Systems (MRS and SRS). This unique mechanical split-tail replaces the friction hitch of a Moving Rope climbing system. This mechanical device works well with many climbing lines and provides a solid work positioning device that can quickly be switched over from MRS to SRS. The Unicender by Rock Exotica is an all-in-one ascender/descender that works in both Moving and Stationary Rope Systems (MRS and SRS). This unique “mechanical split-tail” replaces the friction hitch of a Moving Rope climbing system. Invented in 2005 by arborist Morgan Thompson and now produced by world-renowned machining phenomenon Rock Thompson of Rock Exotica, the T6 alloy Unicender also functions cleanly on single line for work positioning and is not limited to use by professionals only— recreational or beginning climbers will find it a rewarding investment for occasional to regular use as well.The Unicender is considered inherently less complicated than separate work positioning devices because there is no dangerous changeover at the top of the climb, affording seamless transitions from ground to crown and ground again. Here’s how the Unicender works on a Moving Rope System: With your climbing line attached to the top of the Unicender and the tether below attached to a saddle, weave the falling part of line as diagrammed on the device. From here it’s identical to the traditional technique except there’s no need to advance or even handle the Unicender until you’ve reached your destination. It magically advances with near frictionless motion, towed by the (upper) attached line. Descending is performed one of two ways—in “squeeze-to-go” mode or “rope slide” mode. In squeeze-to-go mode, you descend or limb walk by pinching the activation bars together. Squeeze hard—go fast. Squeeze soft—go slow. Release the device and it locks on line. Rope slide mode is most commonly used to descend on Stationary Rope Systems and is performed by wrapping a bite of exiting line around the activation bars and tailing the device, much like tending a figure 8. Very simple, very smooth.Under heavy weekly use by practicing arborists and with relatively grit-free lines (utilizing a friction saver above), the Unicender has been found to last 18 months or more before requiring replacement of the four clamping blocks or retirement all together. These parts naturally erode from rope abrasion. Condition Is NewItem is Shpped Free Freight USPS Parcel Select Ground
