That’s great Peter, thanks.

 

What is the device?

Pah, newfangled nonsense. I'll stick with my Blake's hitch and RSI, thank you very much.

It's the Awah Z2R. I use it in big trees or when there are a lot of trees. Otherwise my elbows don't like it much..

Great video! off course they say you can not use it as PPE, but I feel as save as on any other friction device ascending on this thing... With an 11m rope there is so much friction in there. The only downside of it, for which I still have to find the little trick, is to get the rope out at the anchor up in the tree. 
I disconnect it and lower it down with the end of my climbing line when somebody else still has to use the access line. If not I just leave it hanging and can bring it down when I'm on the ground.

lovely little thing
