The Gravity Lab Friction Savers have been designed as an improvement to the standard cambium saver.
There are 2 options to choose from.
1. Adjustable 1.5m length with small ring on prusik.
2. Fixed rings on 1m length.
MBS: 22kN
Featuring: Machine Sewn Stopper
Set the Adjustable Friction Saver:
-
Pass the big ring over the union
-
Adjust the prusik ring to be close to the union
-
Pass your climbing line through the small ring then through the big ring
-
Clip into your climbing system
Retrieve from the ground:
-
Unclip your eye splice or knot
-
Tie a small overhand knot close to the end of the rope
-
Pull your climbing line up. The overhand knot will pass through the big ring, catch on the small ring and pull the friction saver to the ground.
Using a ring and ring friction saver has more friction than a pulley style friction saver, which actually takes load off of your hitch cord and can be an advantage.
Treegears Take
Use just like a regular cambium saver. Set from the ground with a throwline and retrieve as normal.
This is a very compact set-up. Taking up minimal room on the back of your harness. No climber should be without a friction saver.
