It does seem differ from the wraptor in it's load carrying. The wraptor has limited the load that can be lifted prior to rope slippage at a lower level than this (I don't know the exact figure). This was down to safety if the climber got any kit snagged on a branch on the ascent. I guess the actsafe was not designed for tree usage primarily, but a broader spectrum of scenarios & working tasks

Did they sponser you for that amazing volcano descent Drew?

[DrewB]

How come I couldn't find that!! And there right on the 900m on one tank, we were doing 2 ascents per tank. Expensive but damn good.

[DrewB]

Yes Pete they did and I've got the petrol one. Would be great if you could descend on it, that's all I'd change. Super easy to operate, we ascended with 2 people on the one unit (the reporter) and it was just very very smooth.

act smart, actsafe!!!

I have only experience of the wraptor so no comparison. Did several 1000ft in a week & it does put a smile on your face for sure. Simple & easy to operate. Very functional

Is there a rapell point on the actsafe drew?
