Squirrel Tether with Pulley (CE Version)

Squirrel Tether with pulley (CE-version) for the Rope Wrench friction device. Optimizes ascent and ensures correct function during descent and movement in the canopy.

Please note: The product does NOT include the Rope Wrench – only the tether and pulley!

The Squirrel Tether is the ONLY metal tether for the ISC Rope Wrench, specially developed and manufactured by ISC in Wales, UK. It is designed for low-friction ascents and optimal engagement of the Rope Wrench, which is required for descent and lateral movements in the canopy[4][5].

The new Squirrel Tether is made of aluminum, ensuring minimal twisting and flex in the Rope Wrench system. This means the Rope Wrench is held in the optimal low-friction position during ascent (for maximum climbing efficiency) and effectively engaged during lateral movements and descent[4].

The Squirrel is equipped with a stopper ball that keeps the Rope Wrench correctly positioned for secure rope engagement. The stopper ball also prevents the Rope Wrench from pinching the user's hand, allowing for safe handling of the upper or lower part of the tether when adjusting the system[4].

The Squirrel can be used with an SRS chest harness for hands-free operation during ascent. It offers four attachment points for an SRS chest harness, allowing the user to adjust the position according to the harness type and personal preference[4].

The secondary opening of the pulley provides an attachment point for a secondary system, enabling its use in rescue operations[4].

Compatible with the Rope Wrench 11-13 mm (RP280) and the new 13 mm-optimized Rope Wrench (RP283)[4].
