ISC Phlotich Pulley
The ISC Phlotich Pulley is a multi-aperture tree climbing device specifically designed for SRT and DdRT. The Phlotich Pulley is fitted with bearings and profiled side plates capture the host line, allowing for a reduction in host line movement.
Sideplates mate perfectly parallel allowing for a clean connection to the anchoring carabiners. The mated sideplates also allow for seamless use of a 'Twin Leg' Tether in SRT climbing with a Rope Wrench. This reduces clutter and allows proper alignment of the hitch, pulley and tether on the anchoring carabiner (in a Rope Wrench set up).
The lower anchor aperture will allow for full carabiner rotation. When used with Doubled Rope Climbing, the ISC Phlotich allows the two anchoring carabiners to be aligned efficiently on one pulley, instead of separating to two separate anchors.
The unique kidney-shaped aperture (opening):
- allows for a wide variety of carabiner connector shapes and will allow rotation of any carabiner
- allows for multiple carabiner connections at one time
- allows for a carabiner to 'center' itself depending on where the load is applied and allows carabiners to 'self center' during climbing manoeuvers, which is helpful with DdRT climbing when climbing up to a large limb
- allows for a perfect spot to anchor a Sternal anchoring device (carabiner, hook, Chestie, etc.) for use in SRT climbing on ascent with a Rope Wrench. This connector in the Kidney aperture will self align to the most efficient spot and can be removed and attached easily
- allow the efficient use of the Pulley as a trolley and allows for self alignment of an anchoring carabiner in the Kidney aperture when used in this configuration.
- The Phlotich can be used effectively for Double Crotching or setting up efficient mechanical advantage systems due to the multiple attachment points and the ability for multiple carabiners anchored in the Kidney aperture.
