Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

Took this out the other day to eat out some new saddle hunting equipment. Found this device very adequate to hold my 6 ft, 220lbs self in the tree very well. I even tried to get it to fail. No such luck. It held my weight very easily using a 10mm rope. Would recommend to everyone getting into any type of climbing.

Easy and quiet to use. I do also use a prusik as a failsafe but thankfully have not needed my failsafe yet.

And essential for a lineman’s belt

This is one of those items that the moment you use it you say, Why didnt I buy this years ago ? Ultra light and compact. Takes seconds to mount/dismount. Great quality, super smooth function. Ascending/descending into my Tree Stand with this is like Night and Day compared to a Prusik.

Tried and true. I have 3 for saddle hunting. They have never failed, including when a very scary ice storm came in while I was in a tree.

It works great as a primary and as a backup ascender.

I use this for a lineman’s belt in hunting for climbing mobile tree stands steps. Very solid, good grip on properly sized ropes, easy to operate one handed. Much better than a sliding Prussik.

I have a blue one for my lineman belt and the orange to match my tree tether! Makes climbing and hunting 100x more fun!

Works great. Solid

Bought for my tree saddle linemen’s belt and theather. I like it because with one hand I can make adjustments on the fly. Nice when your hands are cold and numb.
