Product Description
The RAD system (Rapid Ascent & Descent) is a very popular means of ascending and descending various objects, including trees and sail boat masts--just two examples. When used properly, this system gives you a mechanical advantage which allows for quick and easy ascent. Once you've reached your working height, all you need to do is remove the ascending gear, and deploy the Rig descent device. There are multiple videos online showing a system just like this being set up and used. Still, there is not substitution for proper training, so in the name of safety, please do not attempt to use this kit if you cannot do so safely.
This kit does not include a saddle, climbing rope or throw weights by default, but all of these items can be added if you're looking to create your own SRT rope climbing kit.

I only need 60 to 70 feet of climbing rope. What rope do you recommend?
1 Answer
That is a really wide open question because we have so many to choose from. If you want to give us a call @ 800-442-7454 we can try to help you narrow it down.

What rope do you recommend with this system? Also do you recommend eye splice on one end of rope?
1 Answer
Petzl's own 11mm Axis Rope would make a good choice. It would work with both the RIG and the ASCENSION devices in this kit. And while there's nothing wrong with a spliced eye, we have only sold this kit with regular, unspliced rope, so far no issues or complaints.

Easy to Use (I have had Carpal Tunnel Surgery--Both Wrists)

I love the way this aids me in getting up the tree. The pulley combined with the foot strap on the hand ascended allow my legs to lift me versus my hands. The belaying tool works great and really makes me feel better knowing I can only descend so fast, and I love the peace of mind that in an emergency situation it will auto-brake.
Pros
- *Easy to set my rope in
- *Light weight
Cons
- *Bulky hand ascender attached to harness when work positioning
