Ropeman

Looks like the ever elusive Ropeman1 is available at Wild Country. Found them on their eBay store.

I ordered two as they had a pretty good discount and free 2 day shipping for orders over $50

If you can afford two you won't be sorry to have one on your Linesmans belt

Backcountry.com has them for $28 and free shipping on orders over $50...

Hard to get a pair of Ropemen shipped for $56. They are the orange ones.

Thank you for the heads up, ordered 2.

So did I. I was looking for a layering jacket and they knew I bought the Ropeman before so it was showing as recommended. I didn't need any but bought two more myself.

2 ordered, nailed it!

I got an orange and a blue one now. The whole collection! haha

Ropeman1 is the best mod I ever made. Wouldn't use a rope for a lineman without one.

Thanks for the backcountry.com deal tip, Maustypsu. Ordered a couple.

So are y'all using these on your tether and/or lineman belt in place of a blake's hitch?

Yes.

 

[DwadeCham]

Yes.

Awesome. Anyone have a pic of the set up? I know it is probably self explanatory if it's in hand. I hate how my blake's hitch gets bound up after hanging for a bit.

This is a kong duck, but same idea.

Is there a reason everyone likes the ropeman? Would any ascender work just as well?

I like the ropeman over the duck simply because it doesn't rattle.

The design of the ropeman is nice because it pinches the rope against the carabiner which keeps it very quiet. The ropeman is only approved down to 10mm rope, that is why I use a kong duck on my tether. You'll see in the picture I have a section of the carabiner wrapped up to avoid the clanking when I'm setting up.

What size rope are you using for your tether?

9mm samson utra tech.

I think you can get away a smaller rope with the ropeman if you choose a thicker carabiner
