Wild Country Ropeman 1 Ascender

Absolutely Love It! In fact, this is the second Ascender Ive purchased! I am using them as part of my safety system for climbing in and out of my hunting stands and I have never felt more safe in my 30years of bowhunting! I have switched from using the conventional hunters safety harness to using a rock climbing harness and it has revolutionized my hunting experience! The rig I have put together has both a linemans belt and the standard center loop so as Im hanging climbing steps or my stand and encounter tree limbs I can put a tether around the the tree above the limb, and clip a Wild Country Ropeman Ascender into the center loop. Then unhook the second ascender from the linemans belt, move it above the limb, and never be unattached from the tree! Then once in my stand I never have to mess around with getting a safety harness through the back of jacket again! Plus, by using the Climbing Harness attached in the center, I never have to worry about the tree tether getting in the way when Im ready to shoot! And speaking of using the Linemans belt...if youve every struggled trying to get a prusik knot to just the right length with one hand while holding onto the tree with the other...you are going to love how simple it is to use the Wild Country Ropeman Ascender! simply lift up on the cable loop to disengage the teeth and lean back to get more slack... or grab the tag end of the rope and pull yourself as tight to the tree as you want to be! Thanks Wild Country for a quality product that has changed the way I hunt!

good product!

I actually dont use this Ascender for rock climbing. I made my own linemans belt for climbing trees and used this instead of a prussik knot. Works great! The best part is being able to adjust the amount of slack in either direction with just one hand! Its smoother, lighter, and less bulky than a prussik knot.

I’m using this as part of my ascend setup to climb trees for trimming. Beats fooling around with a prusik hands down.

Im using this as a replacement prussic knot for my lineman belt on a Trophyline Tree Saddle. If you are buying this for hunting purposes, you will not be disappointed. I originally bought the Ropeman 2, but it didnt work for the lineman belt.

Cant wait to us it

Was hoping for something closer to a petzl rope grab, but it serves a purpose in a pinch. Well made for the price though

Best price Ive found yet. Product in perfect condition

I bought this instead of a hand ascender. It worked great at first. It grabbed my ropes with no problems, then after about the fourth or fifth time I used it I noticed a little bit of slip. Then the slip got so bad it wouldn’t hold at all. The crappy part is I bought another one before I realized this. I now have 2 hand ascenders and they work perfect.

This product is great, easy to use. Can adjust rope length with ease and should of bought sooner
