Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

I own 2 of the OS Orange models for my saddle hunting tree tether and linesman rope. They are so much easy to adjust than using a prusik knot! I use 11mm kernmantle rope with it and I haven’t had any issues.

I like it. I don’t know if I trust it to catch me from a fall like a rope prussic but it drags up the rope easily and catches pretty well when rope is dry. New set rope it has seriousl trouble grabbing. Light and easy design

Works good

Very easy to use.

Works perfectly

I use this on a linesman belt and tether on tree saddle set up they work great easy adjustments.

Have not got the rest of set-up so havent tried, but have seen them in action and should speed up learning curve.

Great size. I like the teeth on the #1. Easier if you need to go back and forth.

I like this so much, I use it on my lineman’s belt and tether. Great solid connection.

This is so worth the money if you are a hunter and are climbing with a linesman belt/rope. Prusik knots are very difficult to slide up the rope without using both hands, but this Ropeman is a breeze to operate one-handed. Makes a significant difference in the ease and speed of ascending and descending. It is also safer because you can hold the tree or steps with one hand while adjusting with the other hand, rather than having to use both hands to slide the prusik knot. This is one of those pieces of gear that is so cool you just smile when using it and wonder how you lived without it.
