Description

The Ropeman 1 is Wild Country’s original ascender developed over 10 years ago. It retains the same versatile design that’s been handy for hauling, pulley setups, prusiks, self-rescue, and more. Most big walls and even some multi- pitches require this ascender’s versatile performance. It’s even simple to haul lighter climbing gear up a single chimney pitch so neither climber needs to wear the pack.

  • Must have for linesman belt!
Style: Orange
This is so worth the money if you are a hunter and are climbing with a linesman belt/rope. Prusik knots are very difficult to slide up the rope without using both hands, but this Ropeman is a breeze to operate one-handed. Makes a significant difference in the ease and speed of ascending and descending. It is also safer because you can hold the tree or steps with one hand while adjusting with the other hand, rather than having to use both hands to slide the prusik knot. This is one of those pieces of gear that is so cool you just smile when using it and wonder how you lived without it. ... show more

Excellent product. I am using an 11mm rope and I have no issues. I will be buying a couple more for my needs. Great material and craftsmanship! I am very pleased with this purchase.

  • NICE AND LIGHT WITH NON-AGGRESSIVE TEETH
Style: Orange
The Ropeman 1 is already so well known and respected that there's not much to say. I like it because it is small, simple, and effective, so it's easy to use with one hand and not a lot of thought. The teeth are less aggressive than the ropeman 2, causing less damage to your rope. Very nice for a lineman belt and ascending. Two thumbs up on this one! ... show more

  • Perfect
Style: Orange
It attaches quickly and pretty quietly! It ascends awesome. It takes some getting used to for decent. I used a cheaper bulkier ascender for a season and when I saw this it lighten my hunting saddle and function like a charm! Seen two eights walking up the first sit with this! It is very structured and safe! You won’t go wrong with this little guy ... show more

I liked the ease of use, the directions on how to install it could be a little more explicit.

  • Using this for a Lineman’s belt
Style: Orange
This is an absolute game changer. I’ve been using a lineman’s belt with a prussic knot and it was always hard to adjust one handed. I saw a video with this and literally got it the day before I left to hang stands in KY. Holy Crap!!! I wish I had found this years earlier. So easy to adjust in or out that I found myself staying connected all the way to the top and not getting frustrated and just disconnecting like I would do with the prussic. If you are thinking about getting this, buy it, buy it now!!! I’m getting one for my hunting buddy for Christmas. ... show more
