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.

And essential for a lineman’s belt

the best

Wish I would have bought the mk2. But il plenty happy with it.... Cleaner than using a friction knot

Works great for saddle hunting!

Very easy to use.

I use these to keep my lines at the proper length in my tree saddle. Prussic knots take forever, comparatively. Just makes life easier, and safer.

Ease of use, able to ascend or descend with one hand unlike a prusik knot. It is used for arborist climbing and as a tether for saddle hunting.

Easy to put on a 10.5mm rope and will grab the heck out of the rope so you dont go anywhere. I have problem descending with it. Until I get the feel for it--- it is either locked on the rope or you pull the cam and you free fall until you release the cam

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!
