As per Art Spiderjack web site
The Spiderjack 2.1 serves as a multifunctional,
self-blocking rope control device for the running double rope.
Subject to adequate practice the Spiderjack 2 allows for unique
functions and movements resulting in a very dynamic as well as strength
saving climbing in trees and other environments.
Features and Functions
- Use with ropes according to EN 1891, 11-13 mm.
Unlike the Lockjack the Spiderjack 2.1 does not require changing the clutch using ropes.
- Ready for use with just one karabiner
Fastening the Spiderjack to the harness and fixing the standing rope eye
requires just one carabiner. This makes the whole system a specially
compact one plus the hand-over-hand movement becomes really efficient.
- Extremely smooth rope passage even under load
As soon as you pull the line above the device the Spider turns from
blocking into running position. This allows for two-handed as well as
single-handed ascent or adjusting of work positioning even when there is
little rope weight below to speed up the rope run. Pure efficiency at
work here!
- Ergonomic release combined with line control
The ergonomically designed release lever of the Spider features a groove
on its inner side giving a redirection of rope. This way the climber‘s
hands will not be affected by rope friction at all.
- Thumb brake allows for precise control of movement
Some practice with the unique thumb brake will facilitate a very precise
control of rope passage – from extremely slow to extremely fast.
Trained experts really enjoy the Spider induced high-speed precision
landings. Of course the brake system works just as well in „normal“ use.
The brake pad is made of Guajak wood (guaiacum), a very hard wood,
friction resistant and extremely durable.
NOTE
- Using the Spiderjack requires wearing a harness with a low
attachment point. The lower the Spiderjack is attached, the longer are
the arm pull movements.
- The Spiderjack has no panic-function! Therefore it is necessary to follow user instructions especially in the learning phase!
