The Petzl Freino Z is an automatic locking carabiner with friction spur, designed for STOP (D009AA00) and SIMPLE (D004AA00) caving descenders. It allows the user to increase or control the braking action of the descent. It facilitates creation of a tie-off. FREINO Z can be rotated in order to make the descender loss-proof when transferred from gear loop to semi-circular carabiner.
Features:Descent control:Spur provides additional braking action during descentEasy to use and control. The rope can be quickly redirected over the friction spur and removed with one handEasy handling:Facilitates creation of a tie-offKeylock system, to avoid any involuntary snagging of the carabinerTWIST-LOCK automatic locking system, for quick openingCan be rotated in order to make the STOP or SIMPLE descender loss-proof when transferred from gear loop to semi-circular carabinerCompatible only with STOP (D009AA00) and SIMPLE (D004AA00) caving descenders

The Petzl OK Oval has been designed for use with pulleys, but is also very useful as a general purpose karabiner at belays and for caving cow-tails. It has an oval shape that allows optimal loading of devices with a wide cross-section, such as pulleys, rope clamps and mobile fall arresters. This lightweight karabiner is made of aluminium and it is available in three different locking systems.
The Petzl Omni fills a niche market for semi-circular, alloy karabiners. They are primarily used for securing harnesses that use two attachment points that must be connected (such as the Petzl Super Avanti) or where there is likely to be a 3-way load. This multi-directional karabiner is available in two locking systems, the automatic Triact-Lock and the manual Screw-Lock.
The Petzl Freino is a twist-lock karabiner that incorporates an integral braking system for improving friction on descenders and belay devices. Works extremely well with the Grigri when using slimmer ropes such as the Beal Booster, which can normally be a struggle. The Freino is ideal for adding or adjusting friction during descents.
The Raumer Handy allows the user to vary the descent simply by moving the rope into the narrow section of the karabiner, eliminating almost all downwards force. It is equipped with a stainless steel twisted ring which can be clipped into the semi-circular maillon on a harness, this ring makes this karabiner suitable for all speeds of descent on any type of rope.
The Beal Spelenium 10mm is a 10mm diameter rope that provides the perfect balance between flexibility and abrasion resistance to meet your needs for caving and spelunking.
The Climbing Technology Quick Step A is an ascender for the right or left foot, when used in conjunction with an ascender handle (e.g. QUICK’UP+ or QUICK’ARBOR H) or a chest ascender (e.g. CHEST ASCENDER HC), makes it easier and speeds up the ascent of a rope.
The Fenix 18650 Rechargeable Battery + USB has been designed to be as easy and as simple to use as possible. They can be simply plugged into micro USB socket which can be connected to a wall socket or a computer port. The 2600mAh battery pack works at 3.6v and offers 9.3Wh, while the larger 3500mAh battery offers the same voltage but an increased 12.6Wh.
The Heightec Pulsar (X-Cam) is a handled ascender for use in rope access. It has been found to be 25% stronger than its most popular sharp toothed competitor, with a breaking load of up to 675kg. Heightec X-Cam ascenders will significantly reduce the possibility of a complete system failure by exerting a considerable hold on a rope after the sheath has broken. It is available in both right and left handed versions.
