Big enough to handle two ropes (up to 5/8”). The extended horns on the upper ring of this figure 8 climbing ring work to prevent the rope from sliding up and locking when tying off.
This is great for applications where a heavy load is expected. The ring is crafted of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy and hard coated for durability and has a 10000-pound break strength. This is the go-to climbing ring for rescuers.
Key Features
- 10,000 lb Break Strength — Built for rescue loads including two-person extractions, litter lowers, and heavy equipment hauling where standard figure 8s aren't rated high enough.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum, Hardcoated — Aircraft-grade aluminum alloy with a hardcoat anodized finish that resists wear, reduces rope friction damage, and won't corrode in wet conditions.
- Handles Two Ropes Up To 5/8" — Oversized large ring accommodates dual-rope operations and thick rescue ropes that won't fit through standard recreational figure 8 devices.
- Extended Horns — The upper ring features extended horns that prevent the rope from sliding up and locking during tie-off, allowing clean load management during rescue lowers.
- 212g / 7.5 oz — Heavy enough to provide smooth friction control, light enough to carry as standard kit on every rappel setup.
