Description
The Climbing Technology Cric is a multifunctional rope clamp with an integrated pulley designed for mountaineering, rescue, and rope-access applications. Compact, robust, and intuitive to operate, it combines four essential functions into a single device, reducing the amount of equipment needed for rope maneuvers. The ball-bearing sheave provides smooth pulley performance, while the steel cam securely grips the rope with minimal wear. An intuitive release button allows quick installation on the rope, even while wearing gloves or working in harsh conditions. The cam also features dirt-relief slots to maintain reliable performance on muddy or icy ropes. The Cric is not intended for self-belaying while climbing and is not a fall-arrest device.
