The Arbsession caraLINK v2 Rope Wrench Tether was developed with the goal of providing a compact, solid tether but incorporating a way to quickly connect it into the climbing system, without the bulk of tape at the top of the carabiner.
Sewn by the Arbsession Splicing Team.
Our kits are built with the DMM Perfect O for the 8.5" tether and the DMM Ultra O for the 12" tether. Other carabiners can also work with the caraLINK v2!
With one leg of the tether extending down then outside the spine of the carabiner you reduce the leverage effect at the top of the carabiner. Now this tether isn't designed to be super stiff. It is sewn with the tightest of tolerances. Now with the NEW caraLINK v2, once the tether is installed on the carabiner the gate can now fully open. This allows you to install it on the top of the DMM Triple Attachment Pulley or DMM Hitch Climber Eccentric with ease.
When you use a traditional stiff tether you end up having the legs of the hitch cord, stiff tether and slack tending pulley all squished at the top of the carabiner. Not with this system!
Features:
- made out of Edelrid Powerloc Expert SP 6mm
- takes the bulk away from the hitch cord attachment carabiner (legs of hitch cord and stiff tether aren't squished together)
- the single leg of the tether runs around and along the outside of the spine to reduce leverage at the top of the carabiner
- streamlined system
- 8.5" or 12" total length with carabiner.
