Panic Device for Climbing

The first time I saw this device in use was on a multi-pitch bolted route. The first bolt was way out of reach and the potential for breaking an ankle was definitely there. It is quite a niche device but useful for shorter climbers or for routes where you know that there are bolts that are out of reach for whatever reason. I won't take it on every climb but there are a few where I know it is coming along.

4’10” climber, one of the best purchases I made. Doesn’t get in the way on my harness and easy enough to use.

Great tool to have on those pumpy, reachy climbs!
