Check out some of our featured products below:
DMM
Pinto Spacer
The DMM Pinto Spacer is an essential component for Pinto Pulley applications where textile connecting elements tend to compress the side plates.
Maillon Rapide
Delta with Captive Bar
Maillon Rapide quick link connectors have a number of uses in caving, climbing and industrial access. Some are PPE rated and they are available in a number of different shapes to accommodate different loading stresses. Generally they are much stronger than karabiners of similar bar dimensions, but not as quick to operate.
DMM
Belay Master Clip
The DMM Belay Master Clip is a spare locking insert that helps keep your karabiner in the safest orientation while belaying. Designed to prevent cross-loading and only close when the karabiner is locked, it's a small but powerful safety feature for climbers of all levels.
Petzl
Rescucender
The Petzl Rescucender is an openable cam-loaded rope clamp designed for use in haul systems as a tractor or progress capture device. It is simple to use and ergonomic.
Petzl
Kootenay
The Petzl Kootenay has a large diameter sheave on sealed ball bearings, providing good efficiency and rope care, and the high volume rope channel allows knots to pass through. The Kootenay also has the ability to be used as an anchor thanks the locking pins on the sheave.
Black Diamond
GridLock Screwgate
The Black Diamond GridLock Screwgate Karabiner has been engineered to eliminate cross-loading during belaying. Its unique, patent-pending design isolates the harness belay loop behind the internal gate, ensuring the karabiner always stays properly aligned. Built with hot-forged construction, an I-beam spine, and a large rope-bearing surface, it offers maximum strength, smooth rope handling, and reduced wear. Easy to use, intuitive, and secure, the GridLock is the ultimate belay-specific karabiner for climbers who want safety and simplicity.
Singing Rock
Redblock
The Singing Rock Redblock is a fixed sheave shear reduction device. It is suitable for top rope belaying with textile EN892 / EN1891 rope up to 12mm diameter. The unit has a stainless steel fixed sheave (60mm diameter) and pins + anodised aluminium alloy fixed side cheeks. This unit is suitable for top roping techniques in many applications including those found at climbing walls & adventure parks.
Beal
Dynapark
The Beal Dynapark Y-Safety Lanyard consists of two strands of rope that are each 80cm long and made of dynamic rope with sewn-on endings. It is therefore much safer than static lanyards with a strength of 1500daN. For added safety, the karabiners can be attached to the lanyard with the Pinch attachment. To facilitate inspections, each lanyard has a unique identification number and can be fitted with an RFID chip.
Maillon Rapide
Standard Twist
Maillon Rapides have a working load limit that is a fifth of the breaking load of the maillon (as stated by the manufacturer) and will become damaged and distorted if they are used above this load limit. Some are certified as PPE (to protect falls from height) and some are not. If you are unsure of which is which, either ask us, or have a look at your maillon which will be marked with "PPE" if it is and "CE" if it is not. CE maillons conform to Maillon Rapide's standards but are not certified as PPE.
Maillon Rapide
Square
The Maillon Rapide Square can be used as a lightweight connection for harnesses or risers, where the minimum weight is paramount.
Maillon Rapide
Semi-circular
The Semi circular or half moon Maillon Rapide is ideal for securing caving harnesses, it is commonly used for the junction of 2 connecting points on a harness. Screw links are a lot more secure than karabiners so are essential if there's a possibility that the connector may be cross-loaded.
Alan Northrop
Ray Shrink Wrap Clear 19mm to 9.5mm per metre
Heat shrink tubing for marking up ropes of between 9.5mm - 19mm diameters. You place a piece of paper with your required info on it, put the heat shrink round it and hair-dryer it until it shrinks to fit. Quantity is measured in meters.
Foin
10mm Oval
The Foin 10mm Oval is a true oval karabiner in 10mm steel, rated to 22kn. It is ideal for use with pulleys in all except the highest loading situations. This oval connector allows it to be used with the full range of pulleys, as well as all the other standard uses for a karabiner.
Petzl
Ascentree
The Petzl Ascentree is a clamp for ascending trees using double ropes and footlocks or pantin foot ascenders. The cam is chrome-plated steel with angled teeth and self-cleaning slot to grip the rope even when muddy or icy. It is integrated into the clamp to stop rubbing.
Petzl
Pitagor
The Petzl Pitagor evacuation triangle is designed for rescue operations and cable lift evacuations. The ergonomic shape of the seat and the presence of shoulder straps makes suspension more comfortable than with a classic evacuation triangle. Color-coding differentiates the back and seat, as well as the closure system, making it easier to put on the evacuee. The high-strength TPU tarp material allows regular to intensive use.
