The Notch Rope Runner Pro is the most advanced rope climbing device ever created. Notch engineers and original Rope Runner inventor Kevin Bingham used the lessons learned from thousands of arborists to set a new standard for how a climbing device should handle and operate. Everything has been designed to improve on the original operation - the ergonomic hot-forged aluminum body is rope and finger-friendly, the curved steel bollards provide a broken-in feel on your first climb, mid-line attachment is quick and easy, the tending point is located in the center of the body for smooth tending, and the tending pulley includes high-efficiency bearings for ultra-smooth operation.
