BlackBird Mechanical Rope Ascender Descender

ART BlackBird Climbing Device: Effortless SRT/MRS Switching, Integrated Swivel & Mid-Line Attach

Unlock unparalleled versatility in your tree climbing with the ART BlackBird. This innovative device allows instant switching between Single Rope Technique (SRT) and Moving Rope System (MRS) without tools or adjustments, and without removing the rope. Benefit from identical descent behaviour in both systems.

The BlackBird's push-button mechanism enables full opening and convenient mid-line attachment without harness detachment. An integrated swivel ensures continuous optimal rope alignment, enhancing efficiency. The strategically positioned upper carabiner attachment simplifies rope feeding and is compatible with V-rigs and multi-purchase pulley systems (3:1, 4:1).

Experience smooth, low-friction operation with the integrated ball-bearing pulley, even with limited slack. The rotating cam on the friction amplifier allows for personalized adjustments. A chest harness attachment point aids in pulling up the device during ascent.

Certified for two-person rescue in both SRT and DRT configurations, the BlackBird prioritizes safety. All wearing components are replaceable, ensuring long-term use. The device is supplied with two cams to suit various rope diameters.
