Ropeman mk1f - Wild Country Climbing Ropeman MK1F Ascender

The Ropeman 1 has been one of the most popular mechanical Prusiks for over 10 years. It's been used by hunters, arborists, and climbers alike for an ascender/back up safety device. It is extremely light weight and compact. One of the downsides is its limited rope range. It is rated for ropes between 10 mm up to 13 mm. It has an aluminum cam, compared to the newer Ropeman 2, which has a stainless steel cam. The Ropeman 2 has a much wider rope diameter range from 8 mm to 13 mm. Both products are excellent progress capture devices. If you need a light weight ascender/back up device on 10 mm to 13 mm rope, then the Ropeman MK1F would be a great choice.
