Climbing Technology – Cric

Introduction

This multi-use rope clamp can be utilised in a range of settings, and has four different modes; pulley, progress-capture hauling pulley, rope clamp pulley, and ascender. It has an intuitive release button which enables easy opening even in heavy weather and poor visibility, and a steel cam which effectively grips the rope without affecting wear and has two slots to let dirt pass through.

It is not intended for self-belaying while climbing and does not function as a fall arrester.
