Ronin Lift – Automatic Rope Ascender/Descender
The Ronin Lift is an automatic rope ascender/descender (not yet available). While the idea of the device might seem impractical to the recreational climber,
it could have appeal within the professional realms of climbing photography and rescue, as well as route development. With a lifting speed of two feet
per second, the Ronin is not only faster than traditional means of ascending a fixed rope, but it also requires almost no effort.
