The ICS Singing Tree Rope Wrench has become a well established, popular tool within the production climbing industry and in tree cimbing competitions. It provides a 'S' bend in the rope above the hitch cord. This effectively provides a contained double rope system, on a single rope, which shares the user's weight between the wrench and the hitch. This allows the operation of the hitch, without the need for a double-rope system. The Rope Wrench allows easy horizontally movement, with greatly reduced friction on re-directs (compared with DdRT).
The Rope Wrench is NOT a life support device and should NOT be used without a life supporting friction hitch or similar device that will immediately stop descent in an emergency situation. t is also not recommended for use by persons that have no or limited experience with SRT systems or techniques. It is NOT CE Approved and is marked NOT for PPE.
