Never climb without it!

Regarding the Ropeman MKII (gold one pictured):

I always carry this on my harness or in my pocket. Lightweight, smooth action, and easy to use.

It saved our butts when rappelling with a single rope and 5mm pullcord. We were rappelling on wet slab and the ropes were soaked. This caused a massive amount of friction. We couldn't pull hard enough to make progress. I set up the Ropeman on my harness to space haul on the 5mm pullcord. Surprisingly, the Ropeman grabbed the pullcord with no slippage! Long story short, we made it off safely.
