The updated version of the blocker is more sophisticated in details and makes it easier to use.
- The blocker with a handle is primarily intended for rope ascents.
- The ergonomically shaped plastic handle holds well and is thermally insulated.
- The wide body allows the blocker to be gripped even with warm gloves.
- The lower connection holes have been combined into one oval, which allows multiple carabiners to be connected to one point.
- The upper holes can be used to switch the carabiner and thus attach the blocker to the rope (when using the blocker for self-belaying or in a hoist)
- Thanks to the cleaning slits, it also works on muddy ropes. Only one hand is needed to operate the blocker, which makes it easier to overcome fixed rope anchor points.
- The upper part of the blocker is rounded and covered with a plastic handle, thanks to which it is possible to grasp the blocker from above and exit with both hands.
