SAR/ISC/Troll Rocker

[D Mc]

...Arborists are looking for SRT solutions that involve both ascent and descent being controlled by one device, such as the rope wrench setup....which is about the only device to successfully accomplish this so far IMO

 

Steve, how much experience do you have with tools such as the Unicender or Petzl Rig?

Just found that the AAK Competence Center in Norway supply the SAR Rocker as part of their "Forsterket Rocker posisjoneringsline" in their Arborist range (see Forsterket Rocker posisjoneringsline ). Here's a bit about AAK Safety About AAK Safety. So maybe I haven't made a poor choice

At the risk of being a bore...... I must mention that the slack runs straight through the SAR Rocker and it self-tends with zero effort. If you don't want the slack to run through on its own (like wanting slack in the line to make it easy to move around), all you need to do is swing the locking lever over and you can then just pull slack through in same way you would with a hitch. It's simple. I've just read it can also be used as a belay brake.
