Product Description

Connect the Black Diamond Rotor between your haul bag and haul line to eliminate the brutal twisting that occurs in the line when your pig spins during a free-hanging haul. This aluminum swivel uses enclosed bearings to let your overloaded bag spin freely without kinking 200 feet of hanging rope on a big wall climb. The Black Diamond Rotor also holds up to three carabiners on each end to make it easier to clip the pig to your anchor when you finish the chore .

Features

Material: Aluminum
Strength: 26kN (5845lbf)
Recommended Use: Big wall climbing
Warranty: 1 Year

Dow Williamscheaper than...

Voted 4/5

the Petzl Swivel if you really need it. Works like a charm. Not worth the extra weight unless you are doing some big wall stuff. We get a lot of wind in Zion and Red Rocks...comes in handy....

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
